Before I knew it, it was already dawning, and the sunlight outside the window slipped in, a little dazzling. I couldn't help but put my hand lightly on my forehead for a while before slowly sitting up from the bed. Lola was now facing away from me, as if she was sleeping soundly.

When the two of us came back last night, it was late, and I have no memory of what we said or did after that. But today is the day to make an appointment to go to the scrap shop on Center Street to pick up your phone. It's not good to go late and make people wait for a long time......

So, I put on my shoes and walked to the wall, flipped through the pages of the calendar hanging on them, and then walked up to Lola, reached out and shook her shoulder. "Lola, get up—" I didn't expect her to just roll over and knock my hand off.

"Ugh."

So, I could only push her shoulder again, and at the same time gently pinch her nose and pull a few times, "Hurry up!" Suddenly, I sighed with a wry smile. That's when she opened her eyes in a daze and turned her face to me. In an instant, the eyes met—

"Are you awake?"

At this time, she blinked a few times and nodded. "Then get up—" I said, turning my back to her and walking out of the house. When I got outside, I heard a voice from the side. I looked in the direction where the sound was coming from...... It turned out that Mr. Xia Fan had been waiting for us for a long time.

"Early."

Feeling a little embarrassed, I said hello and hurriedly turned my gaze to the sparkling water—instead of the suit I often see at school, the teacher was wearing a casual dress—a blue-and-white dress that looked fluttery. On his feet is not the usual loafers, but a pair of sandals made of leather.

"Where's Lola, are you up?" She looked into my face and slowly walked over to ask. "I called her just now—" I said, turning my face back. At this time, there was the sound of footsteps behind me, and it wasn't long before Lola reached out from behind and patted me lightly on the shoulder.

"Shall you go now?"

I turned my head and asked leaning lightly on the windowsill, as if looking at Teacher Xia Fan in the distance. "Well, no problem." However, just as I was about to take a step to catch up with the teacher who was walking in front of me, Lola reached out and grabbed the corner of my clothes. "Any questions?"

Feeling a little strange, I turned my head and asked her. Lola, who lowered her gaze slightly and thought about it for a while, took out a notebook and a pen from the inside pocket of her clothes, and wrote on them with a serious expression. "Don't you have to wait for Izumi and Aster? Wouldn't it be nice for us to go first? ”

"No, you don't." I looked up and smiled after reading it and told her. "I left a note for them, and they should catch up when they see it. So, don't worry—" With that, I reached out and gently tapped her on the head twice. Unexpectedly, Lola immediately blushed.

Taking two steps back, she quickly knocked my hand off. Then, with a gentle push, I walked to the front......

So, we followed Mr. Xia Fan to Center Street. It used to be a thriving place, but because of the flood, it became deserted. Lola was still looking around with the same interest as the first time, as if she didn't want to miss any of the shops...... She was excited, as if her face was full of happiness.

At the same time, he held my hand tightly and raised his feet high with each step. To be honest, I sometimes can't keep up with her. A lot of people around me noticed us, which made me even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, the recycling shop is right in front of us......

This made me breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I know. The words of the phone have been repaired—"Standing in front of the counter, before I could speak, the boss told me in a hearty voice that the phone had been repaired. Then he slowly raised his head from the calculator in front of him and greeted us. "It's so early!" Then he sighed.

"Nothing, so where is it?"

I shrugged my shoulders and asked a little coldly. Maybe it's because it's uncooked, right? So I don't want to waste time on pleasantries. But they also understand that this is their way of retaining customers. "Wait a minute—" With that, the boss went to the back shelf and brought my phone. "Make sure you see—"

When it was handed to me, the boss reminded. I nodded, looked back at my phone, tried it, and after a delay of about three seconds, the screen finally lit up. "Thank you!" I was a little excited, and I couldn't help but shake my boss's hand.

"You're welcome, it's my job after all." Somewhat surprised, he said with a smile as he withdrew his hand. Then he stretched out his right hand, which had been behind the counter. Spread your palms upwards towards me.

I understood in an instant...... As a result, when he left, Mr. Xia Fan was always worried about the price just now. "It's too expensive anyway!" After walking out of a distance, she still felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but say.

"Alas, a month's pocket money is gone—" I said with a sigh as I lowered my hands. At this point, Lola gently patted me on the shoulder and smiled wryly at me. At this time, Izumi and Shion also trotted towards us from the other direction—

"How's it going?"

I raised my hand and shook the phone I was holding to show them. "I've got it." Then, we found a café and sat down and asked for two of the cheapest cups of coffee. Then put the phone on the table. "Teacher, can you take a look?"

At this time, I gently pushed the coffee that was in the plastic cup and had already drunk half of it with my hands, and said a little nervously. Actually, it wasn't just me, but when I finished looking at Lola, who was sitting across from me, I realized that she seemed to be nervous with her hands on her knees.

The same goes for Izumi and Shion. When we came back to our senses, we found that we were all staring intently at the phone that the teacher was holding in our hands, and then secretly observing the changes in her expression. None of us spoke for a long time.

Then finally, Xia Fan put the phone back on the table and stared at it for a while before slowly raising his head to look at my face—carefully examining it. "Chihiro, how old are you now? It can't be a student, right? ”

Suddenly, I was so surprised that my eyes widened, "Yes." Then after a few blinks, I nodded honestly. At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and my expression softened at this time.

It feels as easy as a dying fish finally getting back into the river at the last minute. "First of all, I believe in you." Xia Fan continued, reaching out to help his glasses. "I won't doubt you anymore, after all, the solid evidence is right in front of you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she smiled wryly at me. "It's just that that's what makes me feel even more incredible." "Again, the word time-traveler, or time traveler, is too out of the ordinary." At this time, Shion interjected from the side. "And, with just a text message? No matter who you tell it, no one will believe it, right? ”

"But not everything has a scientific explanation, right?" Izumi joined us in the discussion at this time.

Immediately after that, we repeated the questions and explanations, and the more we talked, the more engaged we became...... It wasn't until the sky outside the window turned orange that I finally came to my senses and paid to get out of there. The light of the setting sun, falling on the way home, also seemed to chase us behind.

At this time, my steps were a little heavy - "The teacher does believe me now, which makes me relieved and very happy at the same time." But—"What's next?" To be honest, I'm a little lost.

At this time, Lola looked at me from the side with some concern, took my hand over, and held it gently. The temperature that slowly came from her palm reassured me a little. "I'm fine." I looked up and turned to tell her.

She nodded, her expression relieved.

At this time, I looked down and stumbled upon the tip of Lola's foot, which was very worn. In order to get out of this atmosphere, "Go and see the shoes, shall we?" I said to her. Then he took her by the hand and walked to a shoe store.

"Do you want to buy shoes?" Somewhat surprised, she wrote it in her notebook and turned it towards me when she was done. "It's not." I shook my head slightly. "I bought it for you." Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw her eyes widen in surprise, and she blinked several times. "For me? No, it can still be worn! ”

Then, shaking his head firmly, he lifted his foot up to show me. "You'll take it as if I gave it to you—" I said, glancing at you. "Besides, shoes like these hurt to walk."

I said before she could speak. "Alright, let's pick a pair."

At this point, she stopped holding out and looked at the shelves, where there were all kinds of shoes, with price tags prominently attached. However, I can't afford to buy her too good now, so I look at a shelf that is far away......

The shoes here are smaller and don't have as much trimming. It's small, but in Lola's case, maybe it's just right. At this time, she seemed to read my expression and couldn't help but smile...... It suddenly made me feel a little embarrassed. For a moment, I was a little afraid to look at her face, so I turned my face to a place where she couldn't see.

In the end, Lola opted for a pair of sandals, the upper of which was made of bamboo. The edges are made of stiff rubber, and a blooming sunflower is painted on the toe of the shoe. The clerk carefully wiped it with a cloth and handed it to Lola.

"How?"

She asked, holding up her new shoes to me. "It's a good fit for you." In an instant, she narrowed her eyes with joy......
