Even though it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature was 33 degrees Celsius.

The sun was dazzling, the asphalt road was radiating heat, and the air conditioning in the student office brought a hint of coolness to the Terashima River.

The temporary meeting of the Student Affairs Department is over, and Chiho Shirakawa takes Haruna Ayase by the arm and returns to the office, discussing whether she can be brought with her on the camping trip as she walks.

After getting rid of the sticky spirit in Shirakawa Chihori, Haruna Ayase sat back at her office and sorted out the student forms for participating in the camping tour the day after tomorrow.

Looking at the list of colleges in the form, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned her head to look at Terashimagawa.

"Terashima, remember to dress better the day after tomorrow~"

Haruna Ayase smiled, seeing her expression, Terashimagawa remembered that the last time the other party showed such a demeanor, it was when she and Rumi Ayase were matched.

"Ayase-sensei... Are you supposed to..."

"Slightly~, do you want me to introduce you to the little girls from other clubs? These are quite cute in my impression, and they are still the teaching assistants of Mr. Fan Chuan! I've signed you up for this camping tour, remember to dress better when the time comes~"

Terashima just wanted to refuse, but Shirakawa Chiho in the office next door came up and looked at it with a big grin, and quipped: "It's a few of them, a little impression, they look very cute, Terashima, you kid have to seize the opportunity!" ”

Seeing this Shirakawa Chihori, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, fanning the flames on the side, Terashimagawa reluctantly coped with a few casual words and continued to eat the old popsicle.

After another ten minutes, there was a knock at the door, it was Pink River Sakurayuki.

She walked in with a few cups of coffee in her hand, and the packaging of the cups was very delicate.

"Haruna, Chihori, I'm here!" Pink River Sakurayuki was wearing a sky blue backless slip dress, and approached Haruna Ayase affectionately: "Look, what I brought you!" ”

"What is this?"

"The head of the academy and the director ordered 'Saruta Hikoka' for everyone, I'll come and share it with you. It is said that this brand of coffee is very popular in Tokyo! ”

Sakurayuki Pink River took out a cup of "Daikichi BLENO" with a combination of chocolate and caramel flavors from the bag and placed it on Haruna Ayase's table, and then her pale blue eyes looked at Terashimagawa.

"Terashima, would you like a drink?"

"No, I'm not used to coffee."

"Okay then."

Immediately after that, Pink River Sakurayuki distributed coffee to several other teachers in the student class, and then carried a lot of coffee left, and went to the teaching office next door with the light and soft posture unique to the royal sister.

The twilight on the edge of the clouds deepened, and the redness was like drunkenness.

The hazy dusk casts a glow on the Tsurumai Line, and the tram roars in the distance.

This line, which connects Odai Station in Nishi-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, to Akaike Station in Nisshin City, is overcrowded due to the evening rush hour.

Many teachers in the office have already packed up their things and left work, and today was originally called to the afternoon meeting temporarily, and there are not many things at hand, so they can be left until tomorrow Monday.

Terashimagawa was on the same road as Haruna Ayase, so he stayed and waited for her to finish compiling the list of members of the camping trip the day after tomorrow and took the car home together.

"Ayase, I have an appointment to leave first tonight, bye." Shirakawa Chiho smiled and waved goodbye.

"Okay, stay safe on your way."

Haruna Ayase smiled, holding the freshly inserted straw coffee in her hand.

The "Saruta Hikokaki" brought by Sakurayuki Pink River just now is mainly medium-dark roasted coffee. The "Daikichi BLEND" in Haruna Ayase's hand is one of the four fixed-fan formula beans made with "Saruta Hikokaki".

Probably not used to the luxurious life of Tokyo, Haruna Ayase said after just taking a sip: "It's too sweet, it's too sweet!" Stand. ”

The remaining coffee stains on her lips made her pursed red lips reminiscent.

Terashimagawa couldn't help but laugh, which made Haruna Ayase's beautiful brows furrow, and her face was full of displeasure.

Maybe there were only the two of them left in the office, Haruna Ayase had less worries, and took the initiative to pick up the coffee she had drunk a sip or two and put it in front of Terashima River, and laughed: "You are smiling so happily, do you want to taste it too?" ”

"That's not good," Terashimagawa thought to himself, you had just taken a sip of that cup of coffee.

Perhaps with this in mind, Haruna Ayase reached out and took the cup of coffee back, unplugged the straw, and lifted the lid of the cup before handing it over again.

Although the process problem was solved, Terashimagawa was still a little overwhelmed by the coffee handed by Mrs. Ayase.

The two of them were alone in the office, but now the atmosphere was a little awkward because of a cup of coffee.

Haruna Ayase also seems to have reacted to her behavior a little inappropriate, although she treats Terashima River as a child like Rumi, but such an intimate behavior and the fact that the other party is a boy are easier to misunderstand.

Thinking of this, she reached for her coffee and said, "That... Forget it. ”

Unexpectedly, Terashimagawa picked up the coffee first and muttered, "Do you think I dare not drink it?" ”

After saying that, he picked up his coffee and took a sip, during which he also glanced at Haruna Ayase.

The rays of the setting sun shone slanted into the empty and quiet office, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.

At the moment when Terashimagawa raised his head and drank, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Haruna Ayase's face, first showing surprise, and then revealing the brilliance of motherhood in his eyes, and the other party's smile bloomed like a cherry blossom.

Treat him like a child?

Terashimagawa no longer thinks about it, but savors the lingering fragrance in his mouth....

The flavor of the coffee is rich and round, with a bittersweet caramel finish...

Da-da-da-da

Suddenly, the sound of high heels stomping on the ground appeared in the doorway.

The office door wasn't closed, and a woman with gold-rimmed glasses and a narrow gray suit barged in.

She held a cup of coffee in her hand, and while looking for Terashima River, she said, "I don't want to drink this coffee, Terashima, you drank it for me..."

Suddenly, the three people in the office were stunned in place, their eyes met, and the three people present were speechless for a moment, and the subtle atmosphere quietly permeated the room.

The woman standing at the door, her left hand hanging down weakly, and the silver bracelet on her wrist faintly emitted a white light.

....

The twilight is four, and the evening sky is not gloomy, but there is a bright scene of burning clouds.

If there is no dusk, then the cherry blossoms on the streets of Nagoya will not be lonely, because the twilight will make them even thinner.

The moment I entered the door, I saw the man in front of me taking the woman's coffee and drinking it without hesitation, and then there was a scene of the two smiling brightly.

Miwa Tsukishima's footsteps stopped abruptly, and the coffee cup in her hand was pinched tightly because of the force of her palm, and it almost overflowed.

Her brown eyes looked at Terashima River, and she didn't continue to speak, but she suppressed an indescribable emotion in her heart.

The rays of the setting sun poured into the office at once, and her little face was cold to the extreme.
