The children of Utashima always have to walk on a pair of legs because of the inconvenience of transportation, and the lack of entertainment facilities on the island makes swimming the best fun for them in summer.

Therefore, their youthful flesh often contains abundant vitality, even girls, under the round and slender arms, have the strength not to lose to the lazy teenagers in the city.

Mo Yu wanted to use this force to get rid of Nan Yuki's palm. Feeling this power, Nan Yuki thought to himself, the girl who could be picked up by him before has now grown into an adult, and he can't control it with one hand.

After the girl broke free, Minami Yuki grabbed her by the back of the neck.

The palm that covered her neck was hot and powerful, and Mo You suddenly lost the strength to resist. Yuki Minami pulled her to the empty room next to the living room and closed the door.

The sunlight shining through the window reflected the girl's face clearly, and her ears, hidden in her black hair, were like red jade, glowing with vivid blood.

Nan Yuxi's direct gaze made Mo You feel a little weak, and she looked away.

"The start date of the Island School is different?" Yuki Minami retells the girl's lies.

Mo You lowered her head, her hair fell out, and most of her crimson ears were revealed in Nan Yuxi's eyes.

She muttered quietly, "It's really different, it's a few days late." ”

"Usually the second half of last month is the first day of school, how many days are you late?"

"I didn't say it didn't start, I just said that the start date was different."

"Didn't I ask you if school started? You say no. ”

"Yuki asked last Saturday, it was a holiday, and of course there was no school start."

“…… It turned out that you were an honest child. Nan Yuki said the opposite.

"Of course!" Mo You raised her white neck with a proud look.

Nan Yuki knocked her head and asked, "What about the lack of friends?" ”

The girl was right: "Not on this island." ”

"In other words, I have good friends on other islands, right?" Nan Yuki rubbed his forehead, "What about not fitting into the class?" ”

"It was like this for the first day or two here."

"I've just transferred to another school for a day or two, and no matter who I am, I can't fit in!"

Nan Yuki wanted to pinch Moyu's cheek, watch the girl's snow-white skin deform between his fingers, and listen to the girl's whimpering voice begging for mercy, he wanted to teach the lying girl a good lesson. I thought that the girl's previous words were at most three points false, but I didn't expect them to be all lies, at most one point true.

Seeing Nan Yuxi's raised palm, Mo You closed her eyes, she had already thought about what kind of pitiful expression she would show and what kind of whimper she would make when her face was pinched.

However, that palm ended up just hitting her head painlessly.

The loss came to her heart, and she thought, in addition to the hug she took the initiative when they first met, Nan Yuki's closeness to her these days was limited to touching her hair. Obviously, ten years ago, he would pinch her face and hold her to his lap.

She thought about her fiancé again, in the kitchen, Nan Yuki wanted to pinch her face, but her hand just raised and put it down again.

She felt that there was an invisible barrier between her and Nan Yuxi, and it was clear that there was no gap in their relationship, but this gap naturally appeared.

"Hurry up and pack your things and go to school." Minami Yuki said.

His words made Mo You happy, and the girl knew that the man said this to expose the matter.

"Don't." Mo You shook her head, "I wanted to go to school before, I wanted to escape Yuxi, but now that the matter is over, I don't want to go to school!" ”

"The teachers have all come to your house."

"Being cheated on by bad students is a must for a good teacher."

"Being a bad student is not a compulsory part of girlhood."

"Ah, my head hurts, I have to take time off work to rest at home."

The girl clutched her head and frowned, her slender waist bent over, trying to pretend to be unwell.

"Why don't you go to school?" Nan Yuki couldn't understand, "Aren't you having fun at school?" ”

"No, I just don't want to go to school, I want to rest at home." Moyu's tone was firm.

Nan Yuki pondered for a moment and guessed the girl's psychology, but he was not sure, or rather, he didn't believe in himself very much.

"Got into a conflict with your classmates?" He lists the possibilities.

"Nope."

"Don't want to see a particular teacher?"

"Nope."

"Girlfriend robbed the boy you like?"

"There is no such boy!"

Nan Yuxi's last words made Mo You, who was quietly resisting, a little furious, and she stared at Nan Yuxi, her cheeks bulging.

Without waiting for Nan Yuxi to respond, she lowered her head again, and the sun shone the bangs blocking her forehead with gold, swaying slightly, and the faint smell of wood steamed from the high temperature wafted in front of the noses of the two.

She said: "Anyway, I don't want to go to school now, I will tell my parents and take a break from school for a while." ”

"If you take a leave of absence, it will be embarrassing to see a classmate who is a year younger than you next year. Your sister Lingnai has a deep understanding. ”

"Give me Sister Lingna's phone, and I'll discuss my experience with Sister Lingna at night."

"Don't you want to be like Yuko, become a top student at a prestigious university and make a lot of money in the future?"

"The family's debts have been paid off, and I don't need to work hard."

"It's not at all like what I remember about you."

This sentence blew a hurricane, and huge waves rolled up in Moyou's heart, she raised her head, and the waves of the sea of hearts hit the walls of her heart, knocking out cracks, making her feel pain, and the salty sea romanced over the cracks, corroding the gaps, making her heart sour.

She believes that the image of Moyou that is now engraved in Nan Yuxi's heart is the image of ten years ago, and she, who is seventeen years old, continues to be the existence of her seven-year-old her.

Now, Yuki Minami says that she is not like the one she remembers, and that she is denying the continuation itself, the emotions she has buried since she was seven years old.

She wanted to explain, but she couldn't make it clear.

She thought back to her previous problems, Nan Yuxi treated her now as she was as close as she was ten years ago, not because there was a problem with the relationship between them, but because she had a problem. She grew up and was no longer the little girl, so, in Minami Yuki's eyes, some closeness became a passover and was forbidden.

If she said it clearly, she was afraid that Nan Yuki would characterize her thoughts as a passover and cut off contact with her directly.

Over the years of separation from Nan Yuki, she has repeatedly pondered why she and her brother are facing separation.

This thought soon had an answer, because as a little girl from Nan Yuki's friend's family, she was destined to leave because of her friend's departure.

If you want to eliminate the passover, you have to change their relationship so that she is no longer a little girl from her friend's family.

She stared at Nan Yuki for a while, didn't say a word, and lowered her head again.

One palm pressed against the top of her head.

"Won't leave." Minami Yuki said.

Mo You jerked her head up.

"Even if Moyou goes to school, I won't take the opportunity to leave." Nan Yuki looked into the girl's eyes and said slowly.

"Guaranteed?"

"I promise."

"Don't have that idea at all?"

"Well, not at all."

Nan Yuki added certain conditions, and when he asked the girl last week why she hadn't gone to school yet, he was going to do so.

This idea has now been dispelled.

Looking at the girl's expression, he was sure that Mo You refused to go to school because she was afraid that he would leave, and stayed by his side to watch.

"Pull the hook!"

"A liar swallows a thousand needles."

Nan Yuki stretched out her little finger and hooked it with the girl's little finger, and a smile appeared on the girl's face.

"If you want to leave, I'll tell Moyou in advance." Minami Yuki added.

"This sentence is redundant!"

The girl's face bulged again, and she reached out and pinched Nan Yuki's face, and ran away quickly.

Nan Yuki nodded at the cheek pinched by the girl and shook her head. He thought, although this girl is growing physically, she has not grown mentally at all.

[It turns out that Moyou's homeroom teacher has arrived. Only then did you know that Moyou had already started school, and the girl fooled you. In order to make her feel at ease to go to school, you make a pact with her that you will not leave suddenly. 】

[The girl's behavior makes you a little troubled, you don't understand, why the girl is so sticky to you, in order not to let you leave, she did two unbelievable things one after another. 】

[You think, maybe it's because you gave the girl too much attention when she was a child. People often have some infatuation with their gentle and beautiful sisters and older brothers who took care of themselves when they were young, and so do you. 】

Abort the simulation, and Yuki Minami pinched the bridge of her nose.

The phrase "so are you" in the mock text is not referring to the predecessor's childhood, but to his own childhood.

He couldn't help but recall his previous life, when he was young, his father was busy with work, his mother was busy playing mahjong, and he often left him at the neighbor's house next door.

It's a pity that the sister next door gave her life a sad ending because she couldn't bear the weight of the third year of high school.

After he entered college, he occasionally thought of each other, and the girlfriends of the same department he had dated, one of them was very much like the sister next door in his memory, but the gentleness of that girlfriend was disguised through the psychological theories she had learned, which was a fake, not a positive body, and after seeing through this, he quickly broke up.

Nan Yuki has never been a person who likes to reminisce about the past, and he thinks about his own affairs in order to define Moyu's behavior.

He thought that even he would inevitably fall in love with the sister next door who took care of him, and Mo You would definitely yearn for herself who took care of her, handsome, talented, and humorous.

Just like when I was a child, I thought about fried chicken, ice cream, and a certain brand of mobile phone, but when I grew up, I still felt longing and wanted to be close to them.

Good memories of the past will coat that subject with a coat of sugar, but when the sugar-coating melts and the original smell of the thing comes up, everything will return to normal.

The fried chicken is too greasy, the ice cream is too cold, and a certain brand of mobile phone is just like that.

After graduating from undergraduate and going to graduate school, Nan Yuki dated the sister of the sister next door for a while, and the two sisters were similar in every way, but they eventually broke up because Nan Yuki found that their personalities were not compatible.

He thought that Moyu's emotions would also normalize, and after they got along for a while, the girl would know that they were not suitable...... Right?

Looking at the name of the simulator, Yuki Minami is not confident anymore.

He continued to look at the simulation interface.

[You think, the past is an illusory memory, and the memory is an illusory reality, and the experience at this moment is the most real thing. 】

[You look at yourself, you are old, you don't know housework, you often don't return home, you are very cold to girls who like you, and there are a few confidantes outside, so you should have a very limited attraction to serious girls. 】

[You have confidence, you have to sweep away the beautiful legacy in Moyou's heart. 】

[You believe that Moyou's dependence on you and reluctance to you are out of longing, out of hazy good feelings when you were a child, and it is a precondition for love. 】

[Is this really the case?] 】

[Is Moyou's affection for you really something that is easy to define? 】

Looking at the simulated text, Nan Yuki scolded in his heart. This broken simulator is like this every time, with a spoiler or two in the key part, and it doesn't spoil cleanly, so that people can't get up.

With this spoiler, though, he's relieved. He knew that if Mo You had that kind of idea, the girl would definitely fail, and it was impossible to say that the Asano family's house would have multiple residents, and now, this future should be ruled out.

At the same time, he was also a little lost.

Even if it's him, he'll be happy to be liked by an excellent girl, and of course he'll be a little frustrated when he understands that he's happy!

Rubbing his face, he continued to look at the analog text.

He wanted to see what kind of thoughts Moyou had.

[The girl doesn't know her emotions either.] 】

[Follow the head teacher to the big island where the city is located, and it is already noon. She sent you a selfie at the school gate. 】

[In the photo, she is wearing a light blue sailor suit, the stone tablet engraved with the name of the school and the small bamboo forest covered with sunlight are behind her, the brilliance of the golden inscription and the dazzle of the sunlight are not as good as the girl's smiling face. You save the photo and look at it carefully. You're not looking at the girl, if you want, Yuko and Mitsuki can wear it to you, and what you're looking at is the sparkle in the photo. 】

[You think of the word youth invincible, this rotten word, is the best expression of your feelings at the moment. You think you can draw a new one. 】

[Your painting tools are all on Sakuragaoka Island, and you thought you would only be in Utajima for a few days, so you didn't bring them with you. 】

[You send a message and ask someone from Sakuragaoka to send your painting tools.] 】

[After a while, a few more selfies came, in the cafeteria, in the classroom, and in the playground ......]

[You hesitate for a while, turn on the camera function of your mobile phone, go to the yard, and take a photo of yourself and the Chaowu family's house. 】

[After sending this photo to Moyu, you receive a handshake meme.] 】

You're dumbfounded. As you guessed, Moyu's selfie is not sharing, but urging, and the girl is saying that she has fulfilled her vows well, and secretly urging you to send proof of keeping your vows. 】

[In the afternoon, the painting tools arrived, and with them came, as well as several painters from Sakuragaoka.] 】

[You can't refuse, go to the painting studio in Utajima with them to drink tea and watch, and they give you the key to the studio for you to use as you please.] 】

[You asked Moyu about the time of school and the time it takes to get home from school, and you plan to return before the girl goes home.] 】

[You didn't expect that Moyou came back early. 】

[At dusk, you climbed up the high slope and saw the girl holding her knees and sitting alone on the verandah. 】
