Leave Ch

We were wandering aimlessly around the streets at Cafe Y, and Izumi was going to let myself relax because of the misunderstanding with Shion, so I had to run around with the two of them. But who knows, those two guys will almost go in every time they pass by a supermarket. I didn't want to, but I had no choice but to go in with the two of them.

As a result, I ended up buying a lot of snacks and snacks, as well as puppets that have been very popular recently. Then, threw everything to me. "Hey, it's really too much, isn't it?" As soon as he finished speaking, Izumi threw another dolphin-shaped puppet over - a clover pattern tattooed on it, and the whole appeared transparent blue. "Enough? Yes, yes, I know—"

Izumi agreed; She reached for the shelves again—this time with a pineapple bun. Then I finally took Aster to the counter to check out. "So expensive?!" In an instant, the moment I saw the amount, I couldn't help but wail in my heart.

With a stiff expression, she raised her gaze to peek at the clerk who was bowing her head and calculating—and then I noticed that her expression was also a little surprised, as if she was also frightened by Izumi's momentum. "If you buy them all, are you sure you'll be able to eat them all?"

"It's okay, the sweets are in the other stomach! So don't worry! Izumi clenched his fists and looked at me smugly. Aster, who was on the side, also sighed quietly when she finished speaking. "Can't you? Anyway, I'm happy now! ”

"Whatever you want—"

Seemingly not interested in picking up her stubble again, Shion went to the other side alone after dropping such a sentence. "Looks like you're hated?" I looked at Shion who had picked up a few comics on the shelves in the distance and teased her with a wicked smile.

"Isn't that good?"

As a result, she immediately glared mercilessly at her with a gaze that seemed to be awkward. "Do you want to wrap it up for you?" At this time, the clerk suddenly interrupted us and asked. "Yes!" Izumi rushed to say after making a grimace at me.

"Got it, please wait—" It took a while longer, and we finally took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor after shopping. There are more people here now. "Hurry up and leave before it gets crowded?" At Aster's suggestion, we managed to leave the increasingly dense crowd behind us and head out into the street.

"Bring me something—"

Without waiting for me to speak, Shion naturally took one of the three bags I was carrying in my right hand. "Thank you." I couldn't help but be a little touched when I became relaxed in an instant, "You're welcome, it's just a trivial matter." ”

"By the way, do you like to read comics?"

Immediately after, my gaze fell on the comic books that Shion was holding in her right hand, and asked with some curiosity. "No, it's for Lola, I'm not interested in comics. I do watch it occasionally, but that's only when there's really nothing else to do. ”

"And, most of the time, it's only half of it and then put it aside." Shion said with a wry smile.

"But Lola is different, she seems to be very keen on light novels, comics, and the like. So whenever there is an opportunity like today, I will ask me to bring a few copies by the way. Aster explained the reason to me unhurriedly. It's not for you to pick it yourself, but for you to bring? ”

She nodded slightly, and continued, "Because she knows that she is prone to unnecessary trouble when talking to the clerk, she often asks me—" As soon as the words ended, we came to the second traffic light, and if we turned left from the intersection here and walked a little further, it was Shion's home.

At this time, the viaduct and light rail in the distance gradually came into view. "Then I'll go back." Aster walks inside; He waved at us. Before leaving, he stuffed all the comics he bought into my hand.

"Let's go—"

After saying goodbye to her, only me and Izumi were left walking side by side. On the way, I passed by a library. At the same time, there are fewer pedestrians around. "Why don't you go to the library just now?" She took my hand and naturally leaned over and whispered.

"What? Do you have a book you'd like to borrow? ”

Izumi shook his head slightly, "It's a good place to review—" and said with a serious expression, "After all, we don't have much time left." I couldn't help but look down at the cartoon in my hand after understanding what she meant, "What about these?" ”

"Anyway, we'll have to go back before the evening, and we'll just bring it back then!" With that, she dragged me to the library I had just passed. After entering, I immediately found an empty seat in the corner. And in fact, there are many more empty seats than that. So, in fact, you can sit anywhere.

It's just that she seems to prefer a window position. - "Is it because you can enjoy the scenery while reading a book?" "I couldn't help but think about it. However, when we sat down, we realized that we were the only ones left in the entire library, except for an uncle who was about forty years old.

Izumi turned his head to look at the black satchel he had placed on the chair next to him, and couldn't help but be a little curious. Eventually, though, she dismissed the urge to go up and talk, and took the textbook out of her backpack on a chair next to her.

"Okay, let's get started!"

At this time, Izumi seemed to be full of energy. But this lasted only about half an hour, and then she lost her patience, threw the pen away, lay on the table, and kept peeking at me—"You say, why is there such a thing as mathematics in the world?" ”

"I don't know—"

I ignored her and casually remarked. Unexpectedly, she took the pen in my hand directly, "Give it back to me—" But Izumi didn't pay attention to it at all, "Talk to me!" She slowly lifted her gaze and stared at me with pitiful eyes. Please, it's only been half an hour and you can't hold on? ”

I couldn't help but ask with a look of disgust. "But I can't understand those tadpole-like formulas!" With a somewhat self-defeating expression and tone, she grumbled while banging on the table with her hand. "Obviously you proposed it, did you retreat after only half an hour?"

I looked at her irritated look and thought it was a little cute. Even so, the words he said did not become mild. "But, if you don't understand, you don't understand!" She interrupted me desperately and scrambled to speak. "I'll help you see when I'm done here—"

"Chihiro, are you good at math?"

"It's only math that can get by." At this point, I pretended to be serious and corrected her words. "It's not promising, you-" I didn't expect it, but she was mercilessly ridiculed. "You're not qualified to say that about me, are you?!" In an instant, I didn't raise my head to salute her without raising my head.

"Humph!"

Izumi turned her head quietly, not knowing if she was really angry or if she was just pretending to be angry. For the next ten minutes, she kept observing my face and kept throwing out all sorts of topics—

"By the way, Chihiro, why are you able to do this for our business?" In the end, I was really annoyed by her questioning, so I could only put down the pen, give up the struggle and sigh as if struggling and asked her, "Are you here to review or just want to talk to someone?" ”

"Tell me!"

As soon as the words fell, she squinted her eyes with a bad smile, as if she was still cheeky and gently shook my hand to ask. "I just don't want to see you guys get out of control. Moreover, friends like Shion who think about you everywhere are not so easy to meet again. ”

"You might be the same for her, right? So, I thought I'd have to avoid that anyway—"

With that, I gently withdrew my hand.

"I didn't expect you to say such a reasonable thing every once in a while—" In an instant, she smiled, smiling happily. "Honestly, sometimes, you really don't feel like I'm 18." Then, as if exclamation, he added.

"How is it possible, I'm just an ordinary college student like you!" I was a little weak-hearted, and I hurriedly explained while avoiding her somewhat sharp gaze. "That's right—"

However, he seemed to interpret my reaction as simply shyness and accepted it.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see your sister? Doesn't she live with you? At this time, she brought up the matter of Natsume again. Obviously yesterday and today were at your house, but you didn't see her, you quarreled? ”

In an instant, the moment I heard Natsume's name from her, my heart began to ache as if it had been grabbed so hard. "Not really." Although he can still maintain a smile, his palms are already full of cold sweat at this moment!

"No, it's really not."

At the same time, the voice trembled violently. The gaze gradually lost focus...... "Chihiro? Hey, what's wrong? Did I say something that shouldn't have been said? Izumi was taken aback by the strangeness I was showing at this moment, and asked in a very worried tone.

"It's no wonder, I didn't expect it to be just a mention of Natsume, I actually ...... There's no way she's not worried, right? I let the thought of this flood my mind, and let myself calm down, even if I was reluctant—I gently shook her hand as I struggled.

Although Kazumi was a little surprised, he did not refuse, but let me hold it while slowly waiting for me to calm down. Gradually, the warmth I felt from her palms made me slowly regain my composure. "I'm sorry—"

I immediately let go of my hand, and she seemed a little shy at this point. "What's wrong with your sister? Is something wrong? Izumi asked cautiously, and she seemed to realize that this was a place I didn't want anyone to set foot in anyway.

"Natsume, she's gone."

The moment I just finished speaking, Izumi couldn't help but be stunned, "......What do you mean when you're not there?" She muttered on my words with a look of confusion and surprise on her face, but even then she still couldn't understand it, and at the same time she couldn't help but feel that she shouldn't ask again, so now, her expression was complicated. It's like a vase that has been accidentally broken.

"It's like you'll never see her again."

"Almost, right? If it weren't for me, she would be now—" At this time, Izumi sighed heavily, drowning out my voice, "You see, it was a quarrel, right?" She pointed at me; While seriously concluding.

The tone gradually became serious, "I don't know what happened between you, but if you have the chance, you must apologize?" Just like what you said to me about 'friends'. Then I think my family should be like this, right? ”

As she spoke, she seemed to be a little angry, "No matter what happens, my brother's duty is to protect my sister, isn't it?" "Unconsciously, he complained about me again. However, Izumi's frowning and seriously worried about me also touched me very much. If you hadn't held back desperately, maybe the tears would have fallen right now, right?
