Izumi held the drink that was still half left in his hand and shook it gently, the expression on his face was very cold. "Hey!" It wasn't until someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind that he came back to his senses. "Shion, are you here?"

"It's rare for you to ask me out, can you not come?"

Shion didn't look at her, and sat down on the stone pier next to her as she spoke. "Is it okay to work?" Izumi asked, his expression no longer as stiff as he was just now, but his voice was still a little dazed. "In my eyes, friends are much more important than work." After speaking, he handed over the shopping bag he was carrying. — "I bought it on the way here, do you want to eat it?" Then he reached into the bag, took an ice cream, and asked her as he opened the lid.

"Thanks, no need." After saying that, Izumi's eyes couldn't help but focus on Chihiro and Lola again. "Are those things true?" At this time, Shion asked while gently tapping the surface of the ice cream with a spoon over and over again. The packaging of this ice cream is beautiful and the pattern is delicate and cute. The box is a pale blue color, and the lid is pink, which looks very premium. So, Aster intends to take it slowly.

The chocolate on the surface has not yet melted, so it will be hard if you eat it directly. That's why Aster is knocking with a spoon. "It's true." After a while, the sound of the spoon striking mingled with the sound of Izumi. "In other words, is the Chihiro we see now just returned from another world?"

"Hmm." Izumi nodded with a serious expression.

At the same time, there was a faint cracking sound from the layer of frost on top of the ice cream. The chocolate sauce covering the surface is also more visible. The corners of Aster's mouth curled slightly, and she scooped a full bite with a spoon and chewed it.

The sweet, slightly sour flavor spreads immediately. Immediately afterward, she showed a very satisfied expression. "This is really delicious, isn't it?" Then he handed the ice cream to Izumi again, who didn't seem to be in a good mood.

The top part that was originally wrapped in cream is missing.

"I don't want to ...... it," Izumi said in a helpless voice, whispered in a voice that could only be heard by her. Think of it as a change of mood! But Aster had no intention of retracting her hand. This time, I handed over the spoon as well.

"And even if you put on that look, there's only so much we can do right now."

Shion's gentle, calm voice came slowly from the side. "Hold!" Then, shoved the ice cream and spoon into her hand. Izumi glanced to the side, but he didn't expect his eyes to coincide. "Delicious, huh?"

At this time, Shion stretched out a finger and looked at her seriously and said again. Suddenly, Izumi couldn't help but laugh. "That's right!" Then he put his hand on her cheek and grabbed it unceremoniously!

"You, what do you mean?!"

Then he gently tugged out. Suddenly, Izumi, who was at a loss, glared at her and expressed his protest with a slightly dissatisfied expression. But because his cheek was pinched, his voice gradually became strange. And Shion, who was very interested, simply stretched out his empty right hand this time, and quickly pinched Hequan's right cheek again. Then force both hands together and pull to both sides. In an instant, this made Izumi not only his voice, but also his expression chaotic.

She stared directly at the smiling Ziyuan on her face, expressing her dissatisfaction, but the corners of her eyes seemed to be tearful, and she was about to cry.

"Sorry, because it feels so good. So, if you're not careful—" At this point, Shion finally let go of her hand and explained while holding back a smile. My shoulders are shaking...... "What do you mean it feels so good!?" ”

Izumi instantly stood up from the railing and asked her as he endured the shame that was about to overflow. "Because it's really Q bomb!" Suddenly, Izumi, who heard this, was instantly dumbfounded.

I had to twist my face to the other side and sigh helplessly and full of disgust. Then she scooped up a large piece of ice cream with a spoon and ate it, but she didn't take two bites, and her expression became even more ugly than before! — "What's wrong? ”

Shion walked around from behind and asked in front of her.

"So sour!? Why is it so sour! Izumi looked at the ice cream that was more than half left in his hand, and slowly squatted down in front of Shion. I couldn't help but hold my head with my hand. "I bought a prune-raspberry chocolate flavor. So in general, it is possible to eat one or the other, or a mixture of the three. ”

"You said this kind of thing earlier!?"

So as soon as he finished speaking, he was overshadowed by Izumi's roar that seemed to have a crying tone in his voice. "But—!" At this time, Shion scratched her cheek with an apologetic expression and took two steps back. "Are you feeling better now than you were before?"

"It's worse, okay!"

Izumi threw down the sentence, turned her face away from her sight, and then dug up a large piece of ice cream and chewed it as if to vent her frustration. "I don't know if you're deliberately playing with me, or if you really want to comfort me."

"Of course it's to comfort you!"

As he spoke, Shion walked around to Izumi from behind, leaned his face over, and said in a sincere voice with a sincere expression. "Ugh." Izumi couldn't help but let out another unbearable sigh from his throat. Then, his gaze returned to where Lola was.

Following her gaze, Shion's gaze couldn't help but focus there again. —"Really? It turned out like this...... "In front of the sight of the two, Chihiro was resting her head on Lola's arm.

Feeling the sudden increase in weight on her arm, Lola's expression was instantly a little surprised, and at this time, her long black hair was blown lightly by the wind and spread out to both sides. Slowly fell onto the shoulders. Because her left hand couldn't move now, she had to stretch out her right hand and gently press her hair with her palm.

The expression of surprise also turned to pain when he saw Chihiro's lifeless, inorganic pale face. "That's why you were so desperate to save me then......" Then, sighing quietly. In a short time, the notebook between the two of them was filled with many, many words......

When I came back to my senses and noticed, I was almost beyond the edge.

"I'm sorry, I know you might not be willing to do that right now, but if not, can you keep it like this a little longer?" At this time, Chihiro looked up at her and tried to speak, but found that her voice seemed to be completely dumb. Even with all his might, he could only produce syllables of unknown meaning.

So, he immediately looked away again, and his eyelashes drooped down with him. Then, write this request in a notebook that has turned one page. Lola shook her head. He smiled at me, then looked back at his notebook. Pick up the pen and write right after it—"Okay." ”

I was a little overwhelmed by her quick answers. But she looked at me with some confusion. Then write with a pen – "You have heavy dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep last night? Suddenly, my eyes widened and I couldn't help blinking several times......

While marveling at her sensitivity and meticulousness, she quickly thought about how to answer.

"Chihiro?"

At this time, she called her name coldly. His shoulders trembled, and his gaze began to wander and dodge. After a while, I heard her sigh, and then she stared at me with some reproach.

I tried to look away, only to realize that her face had already been fixed by her hands. "Don't lie to me." Now, our faces were about a fist away, and I read that from her serious, somewhat skeptical, even worried eyes.

So, I could only nod with a somewhat stiff expression.

Immediately afterward, she threw a "I really can't help you" look, which was harsher than just now, and I couldn't help but cringe back. Still, the face didn't leave her arm. Maybe the emotions just now have drained most of my strength, right?

Lola's gaze softened a little more than before when she noticed the change in my expression. Then he gently pushed me away with his hand and patted his knee. "If you're tired, you can lie here."

She seemed to be trying to convey that.

Suddenly, I was a little shy, looked away, and couldn't help but twist my face to the side. Unconsciously distanced himself from her. However, she leaned over little by little, shortening the distance between us little by little. I could only feel the rapidly rising temperature on my face and not know where to look, and I retreated a little. When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had reached the edge of the chair. At this time, Lola couldn't help but be a little nervous. But he still looked at my face with a serious expression......

Then, she slowly stretched out her right hand, wrapped it around the back of my neck, and pulled it unceremoniously! At the moment when my body lost balance, I closed my eyes with a dead heart, and when I opened it again, my head had already been placed on her lap.

The smile on Lola's face now is like that of a child who has succeeded in mischief, triumphant but very gentle. It's just that the tips of the ears that are faintly covered by hair are a little red. Now, she was staring at me, gently placing her hand close to her forehead...... Then, gently brush it with your fingertips as if to soothe.

Honestly, it's a little itchy, but it's comfortable.

At this time, the sunset behind him gradually sank. At this time, the sky also darkened a little. At the same time, a firework quickly rose from below......
