After dinner, at Morimi's initiative, she was left alone in the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

The phone vibrates non-stop, and it's all messages from the group.

She glanced at it at first, knowing that it wasn't him or her parents looking for her, so she ignored it.

Whoop –

Rinsing off the plate in her hand and picking up another one, she looked up at the window.

It was already dark when she woke up, and the street lights were on underneath, but there were no people or cars to be seen, and the road was as quiet as Yoyogi Park nearby.

A completely different kind of tranquility from the night in the countryside.

After a moment's pause, her gaze retracted a little, falling on her own reflection on the glass surface.

The lamp was above her head, reflecting her face a little dark.

She tilted her head slightly, and her bright face showed a little tiredness.

Tired......

They had visited several places today and spent most of their time walking. Although it was indeed satisfying to go shopping, the tiredness was also accumulating at the same time, otherwise she would not have fallen asleep after lying on the sofa for a while.

Looking back at the kitchen door, the three starfish stayed in the living room, and they could vaguely hear a few small talks, and no one would come here for a while.

Morimi put down the plate, washed and dried his hands, and then took out his phone.

Click!

flipped through the messages in the group, and seeing that Naoko had said a few minutes ago that she had gone to take a shower and there was no movement, she sent the photo she had just taken to Naruse.

Kazuha: Washing the dishes in your house.

Harumi: Why don't you see the bowl?

Chunhai: Move your head and block it.

“……”

She laughed, turned to the sink and took another picture to send to him.

Harumi: Are you the only one washing the dishes?

Kazuha: Who asked me to prepare dinner when I didn't make a difference.

Harumi: Is my mom back today?

Kazuha: No.

Kazuha: Miss Matsu has been a little busy these days.

Chunhai: So you don't have to expect her to go anywhere with you.

Yiye: I'll tell Sister Yue.

Harumi: Where are you going tomorrow?

Kazuha: Let's go to Kamakura.

Chunhai: How did Sister Yue plan it? How do you feel that your itinerary in the past few days is similar to the last time we came.

Kazuha: Starfish came up with a lot of ideas.

Chunhai: No wonder.

Kazuha: Miss Matsu said that she would find a way to get us a few Disney tickets.

Chunhai: Enjoy.

Ichiha: I miss you.

Chunhai: ......

Harumi: I miss you too.

Kazuha: Can you find an excuse to come over, and bring Naoko with you.

Harumi: Then we might as well come over at the beginning.

Ichiba: Okay.

Kazuha: I'm going to continue washing the dishes.

Yiye: Remember to delete this chat history.

Harumi: I know.

"I don't know how many chat logs with me have been deleted......"

Morimi muttered, put away his phone, and quickly cleaned the remaining dishes.

Back in the living room, several people were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Doesn't anyone go to the shower?"

"When you're full, you don't want to move...... And it's still early. Takikawa patted the side and motioned for her to sit down.

Morimi sat down and looked at what was being played on the TV, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.

"I live in Miss Song's house, do you still want to watch the TV shows that Miss Song participated in in the past?"

"Always look at it. There will be a particularly interesting content later, take a closer look. ”

“……”

She shook her head, too lazy to say more to this fanatical fan, and turned to look at the starfish: "Miss Song, they won't be back until ten o'clock?" ”

"That's what I said before."

"Then take a shower before they get back." As soon as Morimi sat down, he stood up again, "I'll go wash first." ”

"Okay."

Watching her walk to the bathroom, Hikaru Takikawa stretched, "Whoever washes next, I'm also a little tired." ”

My sister looked over, "Who are you going to sleep with today?" ”

"It's all right." She patted the couch under her, "It's okay to sleep here." ”

"How can you sleep comfortably in a bed?"

"Then I'll sleep in Miss Song's room today."

"Hmm......"

"Just kidding." Hikaru Takikawa shook his feet, "I'll sleep in Miss Sato's room." ”

"Where's the starfish?"

"I can do it all."

It didn't take long for Morimi to come out of the shower.

"So fast, didn't you take a bath?"

"Soak it a little, and if you soak it again, you'll fall asleep."

Mori Kan opened his hair and sat down next to Hikaru Takikawa, wrapped in a towel and wiped it, "Starfish go wash it." ”

"Oh."

Starfish got up and went back to the room to get his clothes, then walked to the bathroom.

Wiping his hair, Morimi had time to slowly flip through the chat in the group at this time.

"You can really talk."

"Haha, it's okay."

"Hmm...... Naoko finished her bath. Seeing the latest news, she sighed with some regret.

Hikaru Takikawa tilted his head and didn't look at her

The three of them sat on the sofa, waiting for the starfish to come out, Takigawa Moon went to wash, and finally Takikawa Hikari.

When she came out, Morimi had already returned to her room.

She walked over, and she was sitting in front of the computer, browsing something.

"Are you going to sleep here tonight?" Mori looked over.

Takikawa Hikaru was stunned, his eyes turned, and he nodded, "Okay." ”

"That's not what you just planned?"

"It's not."

She looked at the computer again, "Then I didn't say it." ”

"That's not going to work."

She walked in and sat down on the bed behind Morimi.

"I probably have some questions for Ichiha as well."

"Yes."

Morimi stared at the screen and didn't look back, "I'm not necessarily going to be honest. ”

Hikaru Takikawa reacted calmly, "Hmm. ”

She glanced back at her anyway, and quickly turned back again.

"Does Light play games? This is the game he used to play, and he just told me the account. ”

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the screen, "I'll only play some games on my phone. ”

"Doesn't the arcade count?"

"That's right...... But this kind of computer game is a bit more complicated for me. ”

"It's complicated."

Morimi fiddled with the mouse and keyboard, "There are so many icons, my eyes are going to be dazzled at first." But it can also be when they don't exist and just do something simple. ”

Hikaru Takikawa's gaze turned to her and then to the screen.

"Simple things, do you mean simply wandering around?"

"I'm still working on it."

She sat behind and watched, and quickly leaned over as well, "Let me try." ”

Morimi gave up his seat and stood by to watch her fiddle.

The two of them barely understood anything, and they were playing around, still being able to pass the time.

Before you know it, the night is getting deep.

At the last minute of ten o'clock, Matsu and his assistant returned to the apartment.

"I haven't slept yet." She came to the door of her son's room and leaned against the door to look at the two inside.

"Miss Song......"

"It's okay, you guys can keep playing."

Smiling at the two of them, she turned around and chatted with the starfish and Takikawa Moon in the living room, and then went to take a shower.

"It's time for us to sleep, too."

Hikaru Takikawa leaned back, his head bumping into a soft ball. She looked up, and Morimi looked down at her.

"I'm going to Kamakura tomorrow......"

"Hmm." Mori replied and looked outside again.

On the sofa, Takigawa Tsuki was discussing something with the starfish.

After saying goodnight, closing the door and turning off the lights, the two climbed into bed one after another, and both were silent for a while.

In the silence, the movement from the living room came in, and today it seemed that Takikawa Moon was sleeping in the master bedroom, and Starfish was sleeping with Miss Sato.

"Is Kazuha having fun these days?" Hikaru Takikawa broke the silence.

"It's okay."

"I don't feel like Ichiha's interest is very high."

"Hikari should know why......" Morimi paused, and suddenly understood, "I see, has it already begun?" ”

Hikaru Takigawa made a slight inexplicable sound.

"Then you ask, I will decide whether to tell the truth or not depending on the situation."

She groaned for a moment.

"On the night I went to the festival in Hirakawa City, Harumi stayed at Kazuha's house."

"Hmm."

"Why did Harumi stay overnight, and what did Kazuha say to Harumi?"

Morimi didn't answer directly, "What did he say himself?" ”

“……”

What's the difference between this and collusion?

Hikaru Takikawa was silent for a while, but he still took the initiative to be her accomplice in the confession, and told her his statement as it was.

"Did you accidentally break the sliding door of my house...... That's true, yes. ”

"What did that Yiye say to Harumi?"

"I like him. If he doesn't accept it, I'll die. ”

“…… And then what? ”

Morimi rolled over, put his hand on her waist, and stroked it gently.

"Of course he was angry. Hold me to the ground...... I was beaten and died. ”

Hikaru Takikawa pressed her hand, "Do you think I'll believe it?" ”

She continued: "Then, too, he felt guilty, and we went to jump into the river. As a result, I suddenly didn't want to die, so I climbed up and slept at my house for the night. ”

Hikaru Takikawa took a deep breath and turned his back to her.

"Can't light accept that."

"There's no way Chunhai will do anything to Kazuha."

Morimi smiled.

"Yes, so it was actually my hand that made the first move, slapped him three times, and he was really angry before he fought back......"

"—so be it. I'm sleepy, good night. ”

Morimi raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything more.

Silence returned to the room.

After a while, there was a very soft sound of the door closing.

"Miss Song also went back to her room to rest."

"Hmm."

"I want to know what happened that day, but I don't dare to ask in detail, is it because I'm afraid of what I've really done?"

“……”

Takigawa opened his eyes and looked at the darkness in front of him.
