Sitting on the sofa in the living room and putting down the tablet, Terashimagawa opened his phone Line and found 'Chika'.

"Chika-chan, last time I mailed you a gift from Nara, did you receive it?"

Sent at 19:27 p.m.

This is a message to Professor Tsukishima's trumpet just before taking a shower.,I don't know if it's replied now.。

In order to save the country, I understand that after Professor Tsukishima left angrily in the afternoon, his mood improved, so he could only start with the trumpet.

Terashimagawa took a look at Line, and after more than half an hour of waiting, Chika replied with a "well, received" and there was no more.

Although, it can also be regarded as clearing the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. As long as Professor Tsukishima is willing to take care of him, everything will turn around.

Terashimagawa hurriedly typed: "Did you read something?" ”

The message says it has been read, but there is no reply.

The chat box fell silent again.

....

The moon is sparse, and the crows make ugly cries in the branches.

Kawana, Tsukishima family.

Hearing the movement of opening and closing the refrigerator, Reika Tsukishima, who was watching TV in the living room, moved her eyes to the direction of the kitchen.

"Huh, stop!"

Reika Tsukishima looks like a reproduction of a female detective from a Maori detective agency, staring at the craft beer in Tsukishima's Miwa with scrutinizing eyes.

"Miwa, you're wrong, it's very wrong tonight."

"What's wrong with me? Mom, give me a look, I'm going back to my room. ”

Miwa Tsukishima, dressed in a cool suspender nightdress, took a can of beer from the refrigerator and prepared to go back to the bedroom, who knew that she was caught by her mother.

"What kind of wine do you drink on the big night, is there something you are worried about? Tell your mom about it. ”

"What's the trouble..."

"The son-in-law you talked to me on the phone in the afternoon..."

"What son-in-law?! I'm talking nonsense. ”

“.... Meaning, you lied to your mother? ”

As soon as she heard that her future son-in-law was gone, Tsukishima Lihua instantly changed to a serious tone.

Miwa Tsukishima's eyes wandered, and she whispered, "No... I kid you not, it's just..."

"What's it? What's there to hide, if you really have a boyfriend, take it home and let me and your dad see. ”

"He's not available."

As soon as she heard that her daughter was relieved, it seemed that she really had a son-in-law, and Tsukishima Lihua immediately put on a kind smile: "When are you free?" ”

“... He... Now abroad! ”

"Abroad again? You said the same last time. Well, when will this one return to China this time? ”

"I can't come back here, and I'm dead."

“....”

Reika Tsukishima was choked and speechless.

Worried about being pestered by her mother, Miwa Tsukishima took the opportunity to sneak back to the bedroom.

Leaving Tsukishima Lihua with her hand on her chin, looking at the back of her daughter leaving in a hurry, thinking quietly.

The dimly lit bedroom was lit with only one lamp. Miwa Tsukishima sat at her desk and glanced at Line's chat box messages on the computer.

Immediately afterward, she looked at the courier package "Tokyo Forwarding Nagoya" in her hand.

She slowly opened it, and there was a small blue cardboard box inside. When I opened it, I saw a picture of a playground in Nara.

The first photo is of the Dreamland ticket gate, where she is queuing up in front of her, and the picture is of her back.

The back of the photo reads, "Lovers' passage, pretending to be a couple with Dao'er."

In the second photo, she is holding Kumiko Kobayashi's hand and picking out bumper cars.

On the back of the photo is written, "The first project, Dao'er took the opportunity to retaliate against me for kissing her at the ticket gate."

The third photo is at the exit of the haunted house, where she is wearing a heart-shaped bracelet by Terashima River. Taken by the staff.

The back of the photo reads, "Maybe it's the wrong time to meet the right person, or maybe the right time to meet the wrong person, it all starts here."

Looking at this photo and the bracelet she is now wearing on her wrist, Miwa Tsukishima's eyelashes trembled slightly, her expression was complicated, and her heart seemed to be wrapped in some strange warm current, and she had a lot of thoughts for a moment.

The fourth... The fifth...

Until I saw the last handwritten letter, the handwriting was clear and neat—

"I thought about it, and I wrote it on the back of the photo, and when that sentence was written in the third photo, I think it was when the relationship between the two was beginning."

Miwa Tsukishima suddenly stood up, grabbed the letter on the table and smashed it against the bedroom wall, "Terashima River! You bastard! ”

The lamp emitted a warm yellow glow, her mind was very chaotic, and she was very tired and unstable.

"It turns out that she always knew that I was..."Looking at the chat box message, Miwa Tsukishima exhaled lightly, and her mood became more and more complicated.

She couldn't control her thoughts, and when she looked at the photo in her hand, she couldn't help but recall the scenes that happened in the Nara Hotel: she accidentally fell into his arms, and was later reflexively bullied and pressed under her to kiss.

Thinking about being single for so many years, I have never been so intimate with the opposite sex, and even thought that I would go on like this in the future.

As a result, everything changed because of the appearance of this man.

Why! Why!

His peaceful life will be completely disrupted because of this man!

"He's a polluter!" Miwa Tsukishima muttered in a low voice.

She picked up the letter that had fallen on the floor, spread it flat on the table, smoothed it with her hands, and put it in a small blue cardboard box.

Then, she went back to bed and lay down, remembering the scene she saw when she went to the student office this afternoon to deliver coffee to Terashimagawa, and a feeling of indescribable welling up in her heart.

She wanted to shut it up and go to sleep as soon as possible. But I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and the arm on my forehead slowly slipped down, and I turned my head to look at the high-malt can of craft stout on the table.

In order not to let herself think about those troubles anymore and forget everything about today, Miwa Tsukishima did not hesitate at all, raised her snow-white neck and took a big sip.

Pursing his lips, his pink tongue licked his shiny lips unsatisfactorily. Soon, another bite...

Slowly, the 300-milliliter can of craft stout bottomed out.

Miwa Tsukishima's brain is still very awake and does not feel the slightest sleep. The emotions that had been suppressed all night could no longer be controlled, and it was like a blizzard.

She could have gotten used to commuting alone, to being alone in a small workshop, to having a serious and cold face, and not caring even if she was blinded.

She didn't expect everyone to understand her anyway, and they were all used to teaching or punishing students in their own way of education.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the mobile phone prompt, and she glanced at it absentmindedly. Oh, it's the mobile app update reminder. She ignored it without even thinking about it.

Just as she was putting her phone back to charge, Miwa Tsukishima thought about it, opened Line, and found the avatar of Terashima River.

She took a deep breath and scolded herself secretly, this guy only made herself angry in the afternoon, why do you ignore him now! Isn't that sick? On the other hand, he blamed Terashimagawa for knowing that Chika was her, but he still pretended not to know and deliberately wanted to see her laugh.

When I thought of the night at the Nara Hotel, I was asked by him tentatively....

Thinking of his answer at that time, Tsukishima Miwa's cheeks turned crimson, she bit her lip, and she couldn't wait to get into the quilt to cover her head, very shy.

Ahra! It's just dead!!

I... I don't deserve to stay in school anymore....

Then, she lifted her blushing face from the pillow, picked up her mobile phone and typed and deleted it in the chat box, trying to comfort herself over and over again, maybe she was thinking too much, Terashimagawa may not know that 'Thousand Flowers' is her, but she sent the wrong courier?

Although this is only 1 in 10,000 likely, but... What if?

Chika: "I've seen it, thank you for the gift." ”

A simple reply seems to have exhausted all the strength of the body.

When the message was sent, Miwa Tsukishima instantly sobered up for the most part, and her long eyelashes were trembling. She covered her face with her hands, feeling very remorseful.

It's all to blame for the fact that she just drank, anyway, she blames all this because alcohol has messed up her thinking, so she has become so irrational, and she has to rush into her 'heart' as if she was right, so that she can send a message back to that bastard!

Some things have already happened, and you can pretend not to know about them and wait for the next day to act like you're nothing. Now he takes the initiative to poke it and expose this relationship above the sea level, is it really stupid or pretending to be stupid!

Miwa Tsukishima feels that she is really drunk and regrets why she is drinking, obviously she just wants to use alcohol to kill her sorrows.

◇

Takada Town, Terashima House.

The mobile phone chat box received a reply from 'Thousand Flowers', and Terashimagawa immediately entered a serious state.

Chika: "I've seen it, thank you for the gift." ”

A very simple reply, with no obvious voice between the lines.

Terashimagawa thought about it seriously and decided to make a bold attempt again. After all, from the time he sent the photo to Miwa Tsukishima, he was already ready for a showdown.

The relationship between the two is like a layer of tissue paper, which can be broken when stabbed. He didn't think about pretending to be stupid for the rest of his life, instead of letting Professor Tsukishima react and give him 'small shoes' in shame, it was better to take this opportunity to expose it by giving gifts.

Now it seems that Professor Tsukishima is not angry. It's just that the reaction is too calm, neither admitting it, nor continuing to pretend to say, 'Did you send the wrong thing' or anything like that.

In this way, Terashimagawa's mind suddenly became active.

Terashimagawa: "There's a camping trip in the school club on Tuesday, so I'd like to invite the island to join us!" ”

Twenty kilometers across the streets of Kawana....

Miwa Tsukishima sat up from the bed, helpless.

He replied! He replied!! What am I going to do?!

Why don't you just blacklist or delete friends?

No, no, it's too much to cover up!

She sat on the bed, her back to the head of the bed, her pretty little face pillowed on her lap, staring at the chat messages on the phone screen, her beautiful big eyes blinking and blinking, and her eyes showed panic.

Taking a deep breath, Miwa Tsukishima calmed down and said cautiously, "Then you should go and ask your mentor." ”

In the next second, Terashimagawa replied again. Seeing the content of the message, Miwa Tsukishima's heart trembled.

Terashimagawa: "I her off again in the afternoon, and she won't agree." ”

Chika: ".... What do you not try to know? ”

Terashimagawa: "Will she say yes?" ”

Calm down! Calm down!

Just keep it like this.,Just reply according to the previous 'Thousand Flowers' persona!

Chika: "Maybe?" ”

Terashimagawa: "Okay, I'll try." ”

Finally solved this big trouble, Tsukishima Miwa was completely relieved, couldn't help but smile, and immediately returned to the appearance of a cold and strict teacher.

Thinking that Shimojimagawa was going to send a message to her work number and ask about participating in a camping trip, did she refuse? Or do you want to say yes?

Calm down! Calm down!

What a person, how can you be upset because of a little man! It's a shame, Miwa Tsukishima!

Suddenly, the phone rings with an incoming call, and the screen shows that it is a Line voice call request.

It's quite sincere, and I made a voice call to invite her to join the camping trip.

The corners of Tsukishima's lips rose, and she didn't show impatience when she was urged by the ringtones of the voice call request. With a slip of my fingertips, it was connected.

She put on the majesty of a teacher, and said in a light tone: "Why are you calling me at night?" I'll hang up if it's okay. ”

Shortly after the phone was connected, there was silence on the other side of the screen.

I didn't reply for a long time, and Miwa Tsukishima, who was waiting, was impatient and was about to urge again. Suddenly, she suddenly felt that something was wrong! A quick glance at the phone screen suddenly realized something very terrible!

This voice call was made by Terashimagawa to her 'Thousand Flowers' trumpet!

And she... Picked up...

Realizing the point, her thoughts froze.
