"You're sending Lola home, aren't you?"

When I came to the crossroads, Shion turned her face to me in a cheerful voice and reached out to pat me on the shoulder.

At this time, the light of the overhead street lamp flashed a few times, probably due to the unstable voltage, right? There were also a few wild cat calls in the grass nearby. "I'm not supposed to say that, but you must have a lot to say, right?"

After speaking, the corners of Ziyuan's mouth curled slightly, and in an instant, I hurriedly looked away from her face and raised my head to pretend to be looking at the stars. At the same time, take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down.

But when I looked at her again, my cheeks were still a little hot.

Suddenly, I could only pretend to be stupid and laugh cheerfully. He gently scratched his cheek with his hand and coughed lightly.

"Alright, alright. Shion, stop playing tricks on him—"

Izumi came up from behind at this time, reached out and patted Shion on the shoulder, stood next to her, and said to her while looking at me. There was a slight thief smile on his cheerful face. Then he pulled the aster and turned around and left. When I came back to my senses, my back became smaller and smaller, and it became more and more blurred. Until it finally disappeared completely......

Then, I looked back at Lola, and she happened to be looking at me, and in an instant, my eyes met again. It was only after a moment that she moved away, slowly turning her face towards a place I couldn't see.

"Shall you go back then?"

"Good ......"

Lola nodded and walked forward with me. By this time, it was so dark that I couldn't even see my feet clearly. On the way, the upper arm also touched a piece from time to time. She lowered her gaze slightly, and every now and then she peeked at me from the side.

"Lola—"

Suddenly, I was made to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so I had to ask.

"Do you have something to say to me? If yes, say it. Anyway, it's just the two of us here—" As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of an engine from far and near, instantly muffling out my voice.

At this point, Lola shook her head and hesitated for a moment before looking up at me.

"Just now, forget about what happened on the Ferris wheel."

As she spoke, she put her hands behind her back and couldn't help but raise her voice. However, a train happened to pass between us, and when the view opened up again, Lola reappeared, and I was relieved for some reason.

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing. If you don't hear it, forget it, right? ”

"Oh......"

I was a little confused, but I could only nod.

Then, after walking, I came to the park not far from my apartment, which was about a five-minute walk from where I lived. So, I proposed to go to the park and sit down. "Well, I haven't been there anyway."

Lola readily agreed.

However, most of the most conspicuous benches are obscured by weeds, and only the backs of the chairs are barely visible. So, I could only sit at one end of the seesaw not far behind it. Lola sat on the other end of the seesaw.

This way, there is no need to worry about balance.

"Thirsty?"

"Sort of."

"Wait, there seems to be a vending machine here—"

As I spoke, I glanced around, and sure enough, I found a rusty but working vending machine under a tree not far away. I stood up and walked towards it with a coin in my hand. It took a lot of effort to find a hole a little further down the left edge.

"It's just a normal drink—"

It didn't take long for me to walk up to her with two cans of orange juice.

"One lemon flavor, one cocoa flavor, which one do you want?"

With a cheerful expression, I handed her both cans of drinks.

"I kind of don't like sourness."

Lola hesitated a little, looked up at me a little embarrassed, and quickly looked away the moment her eyes met.

"That cocoa flavor is for you."

"Thank you."

Finally, I held up the lemon-flavored bottle to my eyes, and it was glittering against the sporadic light around it. At this point, I unscrewed the cap. Then, suddenly, I felt that my sleeve was being pulled. Looking to the side, Lola was looking at me with a very reluctant expression. Like, still a little angry.

"What's wrong?"

At this point, I asked a little nervously. At the same time, staring at her face with some bewilderment.

"Help me open—"

Suddenly, I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, and I couldn't help but laugh a few times from reaching out to take the bottle she handed over. It was opened in a few moments, and then, I expertly threw the unused caps into the trash can not far away.

When I turned back again, the corners of my mouth turned up slightly, and I accidentally showed an expression as if I was showing off to her. It didn't take long for her to look at my face and a somewhat cute but very calm laugh came out of her throat.

So, I simply sat down on the lawn next to her.

"It's dirty on the ground."

At this time, she reminded me with a half-drunk drink in her hand.

"Anyway, I'm going to take a shower when I go home, it's fine."

I shook my head and told her with a smile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she also sat down. In an instant, our shoulders collided. After a while, Lola, who still didn't seem to feel comfortable enough, simply lay down. As a result, most of his body was flooded by the lawn.

"By the way, Lola, can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"It's, at that time, why would you be in the Ferris wheel—"

Suddenly, Lola sat up like a spring, her face flushed......

"That's it...... That's—"

At this time, Lola's voice seemed to be hidden in her throat, and only she could hear it, as if she was enduring something. But the silence that made me wonder didn't last long, and she took a few deep breaths with her eyes down, and then raised her head to stare into my eyes again—

Immediately after that, his expression suddenly became very serious, and he took care of himself to shorten the distance between himself and me. Then, he reached out and gently placed it on my shoulder. At this moment, even the tips of her ears hidden behind her hair were red.

Not knowing what to do, I took two steps back. The voice that couldn't help but leak became a little stiff and nervous.

"Chihiro, I like you! That is, because I like you, I ...... on the Ferris wheel"

As she spoke, her voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally, she struck me on the stomach with her fist. It looks like it's hard, but it doesn't hurt at all. Then, she gently pushed me away and said to me in a somewhat angry voice, "You know! Also asked—! ”

"I just didn't know how to ask!"

So I immediately interrupted her, with a somewhat anxious and aggrieved expression, intending to defend myself a few words.

"Lie!"

"It's true! After all, so suddenly—"

As we talked, we attracted the attention of the people around us as if we were arguing.

"I told you you could get out of the way, right?"

She held the pen and kept writing rebuttals to me at a very fast pace—

"But you didn't give me a chance to hide......"

With that, I sighed. At this time, the drink is also about two-thirds gone. Pouring the last bit down our throats, we threw away the empty bottles without hesitation, and in a moment they flew precisely into the trash can next to the telephone pole.

"Wow, verbose!"

At this time, Lola's voice was a little muffled, and her arms slowly drooped.

"Don't say it, it seems like it's all ...... My fault is the same......"

With that, she turned around and walked away quickly, as if she wanted to run away from me. However, when I got back to my apartment, I saw her sitting in front of my house, with her back against the wall, and her head buried in the crook of her arm. After noticing my footsteps, he slowly turned his face to my side.

Pouting...... Seems to be making a fuss in earnest?

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, I was dumbfounded.

"Because, I don't have a key!"

She muttered something under her breath.

"Huh?"

"So, give me the keys to your house!"

So, at her strong request, I had no choice but to accept this request. Otherwise, I'm afraid she will have to vent her anger on me. You can tell from the angry expression that can be seen. So, I chose the safest method. Also, it's a little cold in the hallway—

Lola is now only wearing a short-sleeved red checkered shirt, and she is afraid that she will catch a cold if she stays for a long time.

"Let's go in first."

"Hmm—"

Suddenly, her voice became cheerful again, and she nodded and put the key she had just gotten into the outer pocket of her jeans.

As she entered the hallway, she bent down to take off her shoes, then took a pair of slippers from the shelf and put them on.

Then he turned to look at my face and asked me in a very serious but very gentle voice, "Hurt, does it still hurt?"

Before I could reply, he stretched out his hand and put it there, and even shortened the distance between him and me. When I came back to my senses, I was just one fist away from almost sticking together.

"No matter how you say it, you can't ...... it so quickly"

As I spoke, I couldn't help but sigh with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Then I'll take care of you during the time before you recover!"

In an instant, she clenched her fists in front of my eyes, and then held out a finger and pointed at me.

"Don't just decide!"

I couldn't help but widen my eyes and was stunned for a long time before I reacted...... Suddenly, even the voice that came out of his throat was a cry. I chased her all the way to the living room......
