At around 3:40 p.m., Yuxia left the library and went to the convenience store alone.

Shiina Kiri continued to stay in the library to read.

In fact, he also thought about accompanying Gensheng Yuxia to work and completing her special plot line tasks a few more times.

But on second thought, he gave up.

I'm afraid that the shift will become two people working together, after all, she doesn't like to take advantage.

And emotional matters, going with the flow is one thing.

On the other hand, he once again put down his attack on her, intending to provoke another girl.

But this time it was really forced by the situation.

After another hour or so, there were many students scattered around the library, including more third-graders.

Although Yuki High School is a private school, it does not focus on academics, so if you don't like to study, you have a lot of spare time to develop your hobbies.

But if you want to get into the university of your choice, you need to work harder.

Joining the "Rocket Class" is only the first step.

Yuki High School's library is distinctive, with only two reading rooms open in the evening, staffed by one or two librarians.

Within an hour after 5 p.m., the two reading rooms will gradually fill up.

Shiina Kirishi also discovered this "secret" recently, after all, he had to sleep lazily even in normal classes before that.

Coming to the library to study, it sounds better to have lofty ambitions and ideal universities, but in fact, it is to improve the strength and open a harem.

Well, it might be more elegant to use it for love here.

The reading room was overcrowded, but most of them were very conscious, and only a few whispered about it, presumably to discuss learning issues.

Shiina Kirishi also saw a female classmate from Class C, but the two weren't too familiar, so he didn't plan to go over to say hello.

Then he answered the phone, the one he had been most looking forward to in recent days.

He walked briskly towards the no-man's corner with his vibrating phone, and pressed the answer button while still in the hallway.

"Hey, is it Shiina-kun?"

The girl's voice was as sweet as ever, with a slight joy of falling in love.

"Ahem, it's me. Good evening, Xiao Nai. ”

Shiina Kiri coughed lightly and collected his emotions.

"It's not dark yet, so I should say good afternoon."

Hearing her words, Shiina Kiri subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, the sun had already set, but it was not dark yet.

In the distance, a gray shadow happened to rise from the top of the camphor tree, and then quickly fell back, perhaps because a passing student threw a stone at the treetop.

"Okay afternoon, then."

It's early evening, to be exact, and whether it's closer to the afternoon or closer to the evening, it doesn't seem like there's much to worry about.

"Did Shiina-kun have a good time today?"

"Well, I'll be happier because I received a call from Xiao Nai."

"Extra points, today's Shiina-kun has added another point." Aokora said.

When you like it, the love story doesn't need to be very novel, just like the sentence spread on the Internet, the confession is a declaration of victory.

"Are there any rewards for extra points?"

"Yes, wait until the fireworks festival the day after tomorrow, and you can let Shiina-kun flop."

"Flop?"

Shiina Fog was a little puzzled, what kind of novel word is this, it shouldn't be the meaning of playing cards.

"You can choose to empty your points and exchange them for cute Xiao Nai, black belly Xiao Nai, obedient Xiao Nai, jealous Xiao Nai, and angry Xiao Nai who needs to be held... Well, there are many more. ”

"Do you want to choose now? I'm already looking forward to it. ”

Shiina Kirishi inexplicably remembered the way the girl came with her slender fingers one by one, and given that she said five personalities, it was more likely.

"Yes!" She continued. "What kind of Kona-chan does Shiina-kun want that day?"

"On that day, I want the real Xiao Nai."

Shouldn't the last day of parting be with her in the truest form? He didn't need her to pander to himself in order to make a good impression, although she would play a lot of it.

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, as if the girl was really ticking the redemption option.

"Jingle Bell. The exchange is complete.,That day, Shiina-kun will meet a jealous, angry, cute, black-bellied, and obedient Xiao Nai! That day, Xiao Nai hoped to be liked by Shiina-kun. ”

"I'm looking forward to it."

I'm really looking forward to it, Shiina Kiri took a deep breath.

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"Then, I'll see you the day after tomorrow, I'm going to hang up."

"Can't we talk a little longer?"

Separation is really the most effective catalyst, if you like it, you will like it a little more after separation.

He hadn't seen her for five or six days, but it seemed like a long, long time.

The feeling grew stronger and stronger after she left, and he wanted to see her again.

He blamed the miss on the fact that she had left so suddenly that day, and that they hadn't said goodbye properly.

"No, I'm really going to hang up the phone, I'll see you the day after tomorrow, um~"

She pursed her lips and made a cute nasal voice, which seemed to mean a kiss, which the boy had heard once the last time the two were on the phone.

"Okay."

"Toot toot... Toot toot..."

The beep of hanging up the phone sounded in his ears, and Shiina Kiri put down his right hand holding the phone, exhaled softly, and walked towards the same way.

After the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly, and the afternoon has passed.

In the nursing home, the pink-haired girl sits on a hospital bed and raises her left hand to the nurse next to her.

"Miss."

The nurse carefully lifted the girl's left hand and picked up the syringe beside her.

There was a brownish-yellow mass of potion in the syringe, and the amount was very small, only a shallow layer.

The girl's face was calm from beginning to end, and the girl who was coquettish to the teenager just now didn't seem to be her.

The nurse soon left, and the smell of disinfectant still lingered in the ward.

That's Aokuna's least favorite taste, and she hasn't liked it since she was a child.

I smell it several times a day now, and there will be more in the future.

She used to think that it didn't matter if the flowering period was short, at least she was in full bloom.

In fact, she also thought that she should die when she was the most beautiful, at least she wouldn't have to become ugly like her mother.

In the end, she gave up, because it would be sorry for her father.

Later, after being liked by him, she became more and more nostalgic for this world.

Even if you don't see each other again, that's okay.

She turned on her phone, and the wallpaper was a group photo.

In the photo, the two are sitting on the deck of a cruise ship, and the teenager kisses her on the cheek.

……

Tuesday.

Today's classes are a lot and a bit heavy for a regular class.

Shiina Kiri was in a daze for the first time in a long time.

The girl sent the specific time and place of the fireworks festival on the line yesterday.

Wednesday, Tokyo Bay.

Not far from Ueda Ward.

In "The Little Prince", the little fox said such a sentence: "For example, if you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then from three o'clock, I begin to feel happy, and the closer the time gets, the happier I feel." ”

Is it because of happiness to see her in a hurry?

Shiina Kiri suddenly had the illusion that he was thinking about philosophy.

"Shiina!"

Mr. Matsukawa, who was on the podium, suddenly called out his name.

"Yes."

Shiina Kiri stood up and looked up, Matsukawa-sensei's hairline was getting higher and higher, and he even delusionally wanted to cover the top of his shiny head with a few bangs.

"You come up and do this question."

With a serious expression, he tapped the blackboard with his right hand.

The "aura of protection" of the first monthly test seems to have dissipated, or Mr. Matsukawa is warning him not to be too arrogant.

For top students, teachers will take special care of them, and this is no exception.

"Yes."

Shiina Kiri walked towards the podium, and when he passed by the squad leader, he also took advantage of the position to pat her, making her frown.

Under the cover of his body, Songhe on the stage did not notice anything unusual.

Seeing that Shiina Kiri successfully solved the problem, he couldn't help but be silent.

"Let's go down."

He shook his head and waved his hand at Shiina Mist, as if Shiina Mist had solved the problem wrong.

Shiina was confused, but he didn't ask much, and continued to be in a daze after sitting back in his seat.

Relax, it's really tiring to keep your mind tense, and his study intensity is already very high.

A few minutes later, with the front table facing away from him, a folded note was placed on his table.

"Are you sick?"

Shiina Kirishi didn't get angry after seeing this.

It's good that the squad leader is willing to ignore him, and being scolded or something like that can be understood as flirting, as long as he is thick-skinned enough.

If you want to save Aokuna, you can only do kung fu on Kobayakawa Kazuki.

But now the squad leader's attitude is too bad!

He remembered that she wouldn't scare him before, and before the two of them became friends with Gensheng Yuxia, the squad leader had always been very talkative.

Originally, according to his original habit, he would not reply to her at all, but now......

He picked up a black pen and wrote:

“？”

Then he patted the front table and handed the note back.

Not a moment later.

"Distracted in class, dare you hit me?"

"Where's the distraction? Didn't I solve that problem? ”

Mr. Matsukawa was completely following his steps, but he skipped a few steps in the process of solving the problem, which was supplemented by drawing lines.

The note was gone.

Not to mention, this feeling of passing notes from the teacher when I was a student is really good.

After class, the class leader walked to his place with a calm face.

"Come out."

She knocked on his desk, then turned and walked out the back door.

Shiina Kiri thought for a moment and got up to follow her.

Most of the empty classrooms on the fifth floor of the school building used to be the school's activity classroom, which was used for various clubs to hold club activities.

A few years ago, a new activity building was built, and all the clubs moved in, and the place was empty.

There is a barrier door in the middle of the corridor on the fifth floor, which looks very thick.

Kazuki Kobayakawa stood in front of the door, took off his glasses, and stared at a screen for a moment before the door clicked open.

Shiina fog. “……”

Shiina Kirishi followed her into a "classroom" with a ridiculous expression, and was even more numb when she saw the scene inside the door.

Sure enough, the eldest ladies are all privileged in the school, and this room is more like a residence.

The interior of the house is mostly pink and has a lot of space, like a medium-sized conference room where they meet.

All the windows were covered by thick, clean dark green curtains, and the ceiling was warmly filled with lights, and this was the girl's private domain.

This room was a little bigger than Aokuna's, perhaps because the girl in front of her had been in this school for a year.

"Squad leader, you don't usually go to the toilet here, do you?!"

His eyes were drawn to a luxurious bathroom with a clear glass door.

No wonder I've never seen the squad leader go to the toilet, and I'm here every time.

Kobayakawa Kazuki's face froze.

Although the fact that she is a girl has not been exposed, both of them know it.

"I'm not here to let you talk about these things." She frowned.

Shiina Kiri nodded, if it is said that under the big banyan tree is the "secret base" of the source of Yuxia, then this is undoubtedly Kobayakawa Kazuki.

She must have wanted to ask something special, and he might have guessed it.

"It's so well soundproofed that no third person will know what we're saying."

"Okay."

"Is there really nothing you can do about ALS? Shiina-kun. ”

As if knowing that her tone was a little heavy, she called out his name.

"Nope." Shiina Kirishi didn't think about answering directly.

He couldn't let her know because of the conditions of that mission.

If it weren't for that mission condition, he wouldn't even need to bring a brain to his strategy, Kazuki Kobayakawa wouldn't have to like him.

Since Kobayakawa Kazuki called him over today, it means that she wants to save Aokuna.

"Is there really not? As long as you can save her, I promise no one but the two of us will know about it. ”

She still had a bit of luck, what if he didn't want to be too shocking and deny?

She's the only one who's ever seen him.

"I also want to save Xiao Nai, but there is no way."

Shiina Kiri still shook his head, with a sad expression on his face, so that he could be more realistic.

The person he had to guard against the most was her.

Kobayakawa Kazuki was silent.

"I'm sorry." Shiina Kiri apologized in a low voice and patted her on the shoulder.

The girl shook her head and reached out to pull his left hand away from hers.

"Let's go, class is going to be in a minute."

She opened the door and walked out first.

Shiina Kiri looked back at the room full of girlish atmosphere.

'Good soundproofing?' ’

After closing the barrier door, the two walked side by side, like a pair of same-sex friends who had a good relationship.

"What are you going to do tomorrow?"

"Accompany her through the fireworks display."

"Oh."

"Isn't there a way for the Qingkong family?"

"Perhaps."

"Well, I hope Xiao Nai can recover."
