Shion seemed to be happy, and the lights in the room kept changing colors with the melody, dazzling and dazzling. On the way, I looked at her excited appearance, "It really looks like a different person!" I can't help but sigh so emotionally.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on my face, and she handed the microphone over to her—"Let's sing along?" Then he smiled like a child who had been found in a prank. I'm not as good as you are, didn't I say it before? I smiled wryly and shook my head slightly.

Shion, who felt a little disappointed, turned her face away as if she was angry, and put the microphone that she had wanted to hand me on the rectangular table in front of her, which was already unconsciously full of candy, and then sang alone as if no one was around.

To be honest, her singing voice is rather casual. It sounds completely unaware, and it's even a little inexplicable. However, once these inexplicable humming are connected together, it is quite a beautiful melody.

"Awesome!"

I can't help but think that although she occasionally goes out of tune, she can detect it in time and make just the right remedy. "When I'm in a bad mood, I often use this method to make myself forget—" said as she sat down next to me after one of the songs.

"I used to be in the park, and when there were few people, I sneaked out at night." As she spoke, she turned her gaze back to me, "Stay there until it's almost dawn and then go back." With that, Shion forced herself to laugh, but the smile was very stiff.

"Won't you feel cold?"

Surprised, I cautiously asked her, "It's cold in winter, but it's okay in summer—" she nodded triumphantly; He said with a smile squinting his eyes. "Say—" and then moved on to the next topic. "How did I just sing?"

"Not bad, right?"

I hesitated for a moment and honestly spoke my thoughts. "Ahh "It's hard to hear, isn't it?"

"Why?"

As soon as the words fell, she grabbed my shoulders and asked again seriously, which suddenly made me feel a little weak. "The reason why you said just now that you weren't lazy was just to take care of my mood, right? I know, after all, there were a couple of out-of-tunes along the way—"

"And I noticed your expression at the time—"

"Really?" Being stared at by her, I could only desperately avoid the gaze that seemed to be too serious; He laughed awkwardly, "But isn't that normal?" You're not aiming for a singer—"

In an instant, I was halfway through my words when her voice drowned out her voice, "If I could, I really wanted to target it!" As soon as the words fell, I was startled, "Do you want to be a singer?" ”

"What? Isn't it possible? ”

Leng Buding was asked by her very unconvinced, and I was stunned. As a result, I was greeted by no doubt Shion's disgusted eyes, and her hand left my shoulder and sat down on the sofa next to me again. Reached out and picked a chocolate from the pile of candy on the rectangular table in front of him.

"You know I was in the basketball club, and it's been very difficult to recover since the injury. Even now, I still have a dull pain in my right ankle from time to time—" she said; While expertly tearing open the candy wrapper, the dark chocolate is tossed into your mouth.

The sound of it being crushed can be heard clearly.

Then, Shion continued. "So, it's impossible to go back to the old community. So I want to work on something else. She chewed on chocolate; He told me very seriously.

"However, looking at your expression just now, I know that I am still far away!" She looked at her hand and said with a slight smile on her face. "Even so, I don't think that song is bad! Is it improvised? ”

I asked with a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"yes. You don't have to comfort me, I know......" Shion whispered to herself, slowly waving away the hand I had placed on her shoulder. After a while, when he raised his head again, he smiled at me gently.

Then he stood up and picked up the microphone on the rectangular table, and after a while he was singing happily again. It's as if the frustration and loss just now never existed. "You're really, really—"

I said as I came out of the karaoke and walked down the sidewalk lit by a street lamp. "Awesome? Do you say me? Shion turned her head in surprise and looked at me and kept blinking, "yes." ”

"Why?"

She stopped, asking in disbelief. I also quickly stopped, so that the two of us almost collided. "Don't stop suddenly!" Unexpectedly, she didn't pay attention to my words at all, and waved her hand impatiently, as if to drive away the annoying flies, "Compared to this, I want to know why you think I'm powerful." ”

"Tell me!"

She approached me and urged me again. "Because, you have a clear goal, unlike me......" I took a few steps back and kicked away a leaf that fell near my feet before telling her, "I think people with goals are powerful." ”

In an instant, she was a little embarrassed by what I said, but her tone was still very disdainful, "That's it? ”

"That's it." After saying that, he hurried to follow her. At this time, we happened to pass by a convenience store, and Shion, who said "I always feel hungry," said Shion, who walked towards the convenience store without hesitation. And I had to keep up with her......

But the moment she stepped through the door, Lola came out of it too—and the two of them almost bumped into each other! She was carrying a bag in her hand, and her hair was wet as if it had just been washed. I was also surprised when I saw Aster, "It's so dangerous!" ”

Shion said with a sigh of relief, and then Lola stepped over her shoulder and saw me standing behind her. Immediately he took out his notebook and wrote something on it, - probably, to ask why we were together, right? I couldn't help but guess.

"Why are you together?" As it turned out, that's exactly what it said. "I just asked Chihiro to accompany me to karaoke." Shion told her very simply, but immediately asked as if she had just remembered, "Lola, you should be able to hear it now, right?" ”

Lola nodded lightly and pointed to her ear with the free one, "It's okay, I have hearing aids!" Then he wrote it down in his notebook. At this time, Shion's expression finally relaxed. "Because the fridge was almost empty, I went out to buy something."

Then she wrote. "So—" Shion nodded with a bright expression. Then Lola snapped up to me and looked at my face with a very serious look. Because she was so close, it made me a little embarrassed. So, I took a few steps back before asking, "What's wrong?" ”

At the same time, avoiding her serious and somewhat confused gaze.

Then she picked up the pen and wrote in her notebook—"How was the conversation with the teacher?" Then she unfolded the notebook and showed it to me, and it read like this. You said that—"

I smiled at her embarrassedly, "We talked, and she suggested that I find a club of interest to join—" and then told her all the details of the conversation with the teacher that day, and after listening, she seemed to be happier than me.

"What about you? What do you think? He asked again. I'm going to show my face at the literary club tomorrow......" I didn't expect to be interrupted by her laughter halfway through this, "That's great! Immediately afterward, Shion came up from behind and said to me jokingly, "What a surprise to me! I thought you wouldn't be interested in anything like that—"

"It's not good!" I was very unconvinced, and I retorted without even thinking about it, "Before, I just thought that even if I joined the club, it wouldn't change—" As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Lola shaking her head desperately, and then wrote in her notebook at a very fast speed: "Impossible! Something will definitely change! ”

"I'm not sure if there will be any changes, but I will definitely be able to change your lifeless appearance." Shion suddenly looked at me with a wicked smile and said, "Besides, didn't you just say that you think I'm powerful with a clear goal?" ”

"yes?" Gradually, a question mark popped up in my head, "If you enter the club, I think it will be easier to help you find that goal—" At this time, Shion's tone became serious. "Will it?"

I couldn't help but mutter, "It's not going to be easy, but it's always good to try." Or do you want to be left alone? At this time, Shion's tone suddenly became stern, and then we decided to meet tomorrow at the Literary Society—

"Are you going to join in too!" At this time, I reacted, and hurriedly turned around and called for the aster who had turned around and walked quickly to the opposite side of the road, "Of course—!" In an instant, she shouted in reply...... Then he waved at us vigorously......
