When Sakuraba Chiyuki returned to the classroom and wanted to take her schoolbag away, she suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to be on duty just now.

The result is a clean and smooth floor, neatly arranged tables and chairs...

Yes, did Ichiri do it for me?

No... It shouldn't be helping me, it's just that I ran away somehow... Then I felt that someone had to do the cleaning and sanitation of the classroom, so I did...

The more Sakuraba Chiyuki thought about it, the more she felt sad.

At this moment, some of her original thoughts were not so firm.

Will she really be able to hold out until the day when she pays off all of Saionji Akino's debts?

Why does a day go by so long?

After school, Sakuraba Chiyuki sent a message to her mother, and after knowing where she was, she rushed over to meet her.

When she saw Haruka Sakuraba, Sakuraba Chiyuki found that her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were particularly red and swollen.

Sakuraba Chiyuki hurriedly stepped forward to check if she had any injuries, and if there were any strange places with bruises.

When she found out that there was nothing, she couldn't let go of that breath because she smelled smoke on her mother's body...

Mom has never smoked, it's...

"Qianxue..."Sakuraba Haruka spoke, she reached out to hug Sakuraba Qianxue, and said softly: "The teachers have told their mothers, you went to tell them today that you want to quit school?" ”

Sakuraba Chiyuki's body stiffened for a moment, "... Mom, there's no point in me reading anymore, and we don't have that much money to spend... The days to come..."

"You must go to school, and no one can deprive you of the right to go to school!" At this time, they were still at the intersection of the intersection, and many pedestrians around could see their mother and daughter, but at this time they didn't care about these sights.

It doesn't matter anymore.

"Mom listens to you and doesn't do those things to make money, but you also listen to your mother, okay? Go to school well, I will definitely be able to solve the money thing..."

"But how do you solve it...?" Sakuraba Qianxue looked dazed, she didn't have a clue.

"Don't worry, mom can solve it..."Sakuraba Haruka didn't answer her directly, but her originally confused eyes already had a hint of determination.

…

When Sakuraba's mother and daughter were suffering, Saionji Akino's home was already full of jubilation.

Fifteen uncles and aunts from the commercial street, as well as the three yellow-haired brothers, and three girls from the end of the band, a total of twenty-one people came to his house.

If the dining table is full, go to the living room, and if the living room is full, go to the balcony.

As for the space of 130 square meters, all available are utilized.

The three yellow-haired brothers are relatively talkative and cheerful types, so they will soon be able to chat with those uncles and aunts, if it weren't for their lack of age, it is estimated that they would have started drinking with them at this time.

And Saionji Akino has been in charge of the barbecue with Uncle Misawa, and he is obviously the master of this party, but he volunteered to take on the role of a tool man.

After all, it was the first time to entertain guests, and he also wanted to do a good job, preferably to achieve the effect of being at home.

"Uncle Mizawa, let me do the rest, and you can also go and rest." Saionji Akino said with a smile.

Uncle Misawa shook his head, "Didn't you go to rest either?" Leave it to me here..."

The two were at a stalemate with each other for a while, stunned and unable to persuade anyone, until Asaba Oriyuki came over, "Uncle Mizawa, you go and rest, I'll help Xiyuan Temple-kun." ”

Uncle Misawa saw that it was Asaba Oriyuki, so he was willing to compromise, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”

"Okay~" Oriyuki Asaba naturally stood by Akino's side in Saionji Temple, and also began to turn over the barbecue, brushing the material and oil, and the movements looked very skillful.

"My family used to go camping in the mountains, and I like to eat barbecue, so I'm so skilled." Asaba Oriyuki was obviously looking down at the barbecue, but she could guess what Saionji Akino wanted to ask at this time.

Saionji Akino smiled, "It's worthy of Asaba-san." ”

After Oriyuki Asaba grilled the skewer of barbecue, she picked it up and handed it to Saionji Akino, "Come on, eat this." ”

"Although it is normal for the host to entertain guests, but Xiyuan Temple-kun, you are a little too strict with yourself, today is your own birthday? If you can't rest, you can't relax, what kind of birthday is it? ”

"I'm actually quite relaxed..."

"Then eat it too."

Saionji Akino obediently took a bite of the plump beef and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It's really delicious, brushed with a layer of honey and sprinkled with black pepper, it's very enjoyable to eat.

"I ate this skewer too, this skewer..."

"You eat this too..."

Oriyuki Asaba fed more and more often, so much so that she gave all the meat that was supposed to be roasted for other people to Saionji Akino.

Saionji Akino gradually lost some of his moves, but Asaba Oriyuki didn't intend to let him go, and kept staring at him with a smile.

A few uncles who had no meat and could only drink empty noticed this scene, and they all showed ambiguous smiles.

They hugged each other and whispered: "I'll just say it, it must be with Zhixue, you say it's with Yili, now take a look?" ”

Uncle Misawa nodded in agreement: "The feeling of Akino Boy and Oriyuki standing together looks too comfortable, it must be a couple." ”

"But I saw him take special care of Yili in the commercial street, and sometimes, the personalities are too similar, but it is difficult to rub out the spark of love." Several aunts were also involved in the discussion.

And the three yellow-haired brothers listened while munching melon seeds.

I thought that Saionji Akino was not kind, and said that he didn't have a girlfriend, didn't he already get involved with Asa Yu Oriyuki in Class B?

The three girls who ended the band sat on the other side were particularly cramped, eating skewers and vegetables with the other aunts, and at the same time suffering from the gossip of the aunts.

It was half past eight in the evening, and after the sky was completely dark, it was time to eat cake and celebrate birthday.

With the advice and help of Oriyuki Asaba, Saionji Akino no longer deliberately concealed his birthday, but said it generously. So just now, he also received a lot of gifts.

The aunt of the fruit shop gave him fruit, Uncle Sakai at the supermarket sent him a few boxes of sake chocolates, and the owner of the izakaya gave him a set of porcelain bowls, etc.

The three yellow-haired brothers, he specially told them that they didn't need any gifts, as long as the people arrived, but the three of them also had good face, so they bought a lot of meat, and it can be said that most of the meat just roasted was the materials they provided.

The lights went out and the candles lit.

Looking at the flickering flames and listening to the happy birthday song sung by everyone in unison, Saionji Akino made a wish amid applause and finally blew out the candles.

The first time he celebrated his birthday in this world, he was surrounded by the kindness of so many people, and he was very satisfied.

I'm glad I've made all the changes I've made so far.

After sharing the cake, everyone spontaneously helped him clean up, leaving no mess for his new home, and each of them helped to go back with some garbage.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

After Saionji Akino sent away the three yellow-haired brothers, he looked at Asa Yu and said, "I'm going to share some gifts, as well as the cake just now, with the neighbor next door, Asaba-san, you go and see if they're awake, if not..."

The three JCs felt a little sleepy after eating just now, so Saionji Akino asked them to rest in their own imperfect instrument room.

There is a large sofa in the instrument room, which can sleep three or four people.

And when I opened the door just now, I found that they were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb them.

But it's still not appropriate for the three JCs to stay in their own homes, so it's still...

"Well, don't worry, I'll wake them up." Asaba Oriyuki knew what Saionji Akino was worried about, so she replied with a smile.

——

After delivering the neighbor's Hayasaka rice cake and a few boxes of sake chocolates to maintain a friendly neighborhood, Saionji Akino also went on to say goodbye to Rika Shinohara and Tsukiyama Winter who woke up, and only after confirming that they could walk home soberly did he retract his gaze.

When he returned home, he saw that there was still a still sleeping in a daze on the sofa, and Oriyuki Asaba who was sitting next to Ichuri, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you really today, Akayu-san." ”

Asa Yu Ori shook her head, she looked at the steady breathing of Asa Yu Yili beside her, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Now the people are finally gone."

"Huh?"

"Xiyuan Temple-kun, you have received so many gifts today, but you are still missing my share."

"Now, I'll make it up for you."

…

On the balcony, Asaba Oriyuki held a drawing board, paper and pen in her hands, and from time to time she looked up at the handsome face of Akino of Saionji Temple bathed in the moonlight, and then the pencil in her hand kept waving.

"Asaba-san, can I really move casually?"

"It's okay~"

Saionji Akino twisted his neck, and then looked at Asaba Oriyuki, who had a very serious look in his eyes, and finally chose to sit down honestly.

Others help me draw, and I still move around... It's not very good, indeed...

Asaba Oriyuki noticed his honest appearance, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be stopped, so her mood affected her performance, and the complete image of the young man in front of her was slowly engraved on the paper.

After fifteen minutes of silence, Asa Haoriyuki finished drawing.

She looked at the portrait drawn in her hand, and there was some nostalgia in her eyes, nostalgia, and more satisfaction.

This is the first time since elementary school that she has regained the immersion she used to paint... How long has it been since I felt this way...?

"Saionji-kun, I thought a lot, I thought about what kind of gift should be more suitable for you... But..."

Oriyuki Asaba pursed her lips, "In the end, I still want to draw a picture for you." ”

After saying that, Asaba Oriyuki handed the painting in his hand to Saionji Akino.

Looking at this realistic sketch portrait by the moonlight, I depicted myself sitting in the same place, staring outside in a daze.

But it can be seen that the painting of Asa Ha Oriyuki is extremely attentive and meticulous... And her painting skills...

"I love it... Thank you, Asaka-san. ”

Asaba Oriyuki shook her head, she actually has a lot of gifts to give, but because the relationship between the two is not reached, many things that can be given may be contaminated with other meanings once they are sent.

She didn't know what Saionji Akino was thinking, and she didn't dare, let alone test.

So for their current friendship, sending such a painting is the best she can think of.

And... She also began to want Saionji Akino to know more about herself, and she also had a certain desire to share in her heart.

Just as Asaba Oriyuki hesitated how to speak.

Saionji Akino's voice has already sounded.

"Asaba-san, you like to draw a lot, right?"

"Hmm... Well, I've always loved it..."

"No wonder I can draw so well." Saionji Akino smiled.

What is the birthday present that you want to give to Oriyuki Asaba in the future.

He's figured it out now.

Oriyuki Asaba's birthday is 5.24.

That is, almost a month later.

After Saionji Akino set the time, he planned to take more action in the future.

Hopefully it's in time.

He thought silently in his heart.

——

"Birthday... Cake? Sakuraba Chiyuki, who was sitting on a tatami mat, looked at the pictures and messages on her mobile phone, and was stunned for a while.

"What's wrong Chiyuki? In the mood for a birthday cake? If you want to eat it, your mother will buy it tomorrow. ”

"No, it's not..."Sakuraba Chiyuki shook her head, she looked at the photos and captions posted on Shinohara Rika's Instagram... My heart became sour again.

It turned out that today was his birthday.

I don't know anything either...

Sakuraba Qianxue was lying on the tatami mat a little uncomfortably, watching Sakuraba Haruka being spreading her futon, and couldn't help asking, "Mom... Now we still rent... Money really... Is it enough? ”

Now the mother and daughter no longer live in a comic internet café, but have found a relatively small, but very suitable house for one person to live alone.

Sakuraba Chiyuki doesn't really understand why she suddenly started looking for a house again, she is actually mentally prepared to live in a manga Internet café for a long time...

Sakuraba Haruka smiled without saying a word, and after laying out the quilt, she gently stepped forward and hugged her again.

"Girls can't live there, it's dangerous, the houses here are safe, and I can rest assured that you live alone in the future..."

Sakuraba Qianxue has been held by her mother for dozens of times today, and I don't know why Haruka Sakuraba hugs her so often, she has also received too much information and encountered too many things today.

So much so that I didn't notice some of the details in my mother's words at all.

"After that, you can rest assured and go to school hard, but if you have to be wronged to work part-time and solve your living expenses, your mother really can't come up with other money."

"Hmm... Mom I know. Feeling her mother's warm embrace, Sakuraba Qianxue's heart can be relieved a little uneasy.

At this moment, she was finally able to ask the deepest doubts that she had held in her heart during this time.

"Mom... You used to be, why did you treat West like that... Then treat him. ”

Just calling out the name of Saionji Akino, Sakuraba Chiyuki will feel extremely difficult, in the past, I didn't want to call it because of disgust, but now... She herself is not worthy of...

Sakuraba Haruka was silent for a moment, "For no reason, what I was eyeing at first was their money, and I didn't want to have any emotions with them, I didn't trust them. ”

"It's because..."Sakuraba Chiyuki thought of her dead scumbag father.

Sakuraba Haruka shook her head: "Because it doesn't matter what it is..."

When she said this, her mind flashed several times the last words that Saionji Akino had told her before...

So it is inevitable that there will be irrepressible regret in my heart...

"Mom was really wrong in this matter, and she didn't expect forgiveness... If there is a chance in the future... You're too—" Haruka Sakuraba interrupted herself halfway through speaking.

"Mom?"

"Rest, Qianxue, the days will be fine in the future." After Haruka Sakuraba covered Sakuraba Chiyuki with a quilt, she turned off the lights.

After that, while Chiyuki was asleep, Haruka Sakuraba quietly watched her daughter all night.

In the end, I couldn't hold back my tears.

"Chiyuki... I'm sorry... Mom, I'm sorry for you..."

"In the future, a person should take good care of himself..."
