"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Arisa lifted the pillow in her arms and covered her face, "I thought he was gone." ”

Hikari, who had already gone back to the bathroom to complete the key equipment, calmly sorted out his clothes: "It's okay, this is also the reason why my practice is not enough." ”

What exactly do you want to practice in this area? Two fingers "vacuum" handle?

Although he wanted to complain like this, Li Wu still followed the atmosphere and humbly reviewed: "That's right, I also have a problem, and I didn't find the abnormality of the situation in time." ”

As we all know, if everyone has a problem, then no one has a problem.

However, the two girls looked at him in unison.

"It's really Xiao Wu's fault."

"It's great to have that realization."

Even Arisa said merciless words with a look of relief, this kind of thing is absolutely strange.

Fooled, this is not a hand-in-hand meeting held in a united and lively atmosphere at all! It's a witch hunt, it's about finding out the bullying behavior of a persecuted person!

"I'll clean up and leave, you guys go to sleep on the second floor first."

Li Wu didn't care about these stupid medieval people, and walked into the messy kitchen like a martyred son.

The moment his back disappeared behind the sliding door, Rinko Hori arched himself like a doll that had suddenly relaxed after winding up, and let out a long breath, his face flushing again.

Arisa looked at her with pity from the side.

Thinking about it from her other side, if it were her, she would be on the verge of dying by now.

"Let's go up."

Hikari took a few deep breaths and then turned his head and said.

"Huh?"

Arisa glanced at the kitchen.

Would she like to stay on the first floor a little longer......

However, after all, it is an away game, and in the end, it is still difficult to resist the friend who is the owner.

There is no extra room in Hikari's home, so both of them can only be crammed into her own bedroom.

It's the first time Irisa has entered the room of light, and now she's looking at the layout with curiosity.

"Is Li Wu's room opposite?"

She leaned on the balcony door and pointed to the room opposite with the lights out.

"Well, you can jump right from here."

Hikari opened the closet door, took out the futon and laid it on the floor, "Xiao Ai, please sleep on the bed." ”

"No, no, no, people like me just need to have a place to sleep in the corner!"

Because of the courtesy that was beyond expectations, Arisa panicked.

Hikari thought about it and stuffed the quilt back into the closet: "Then I'll sleep outside." ”

"Huh?"

She had already kicked off her slippers and had taken up the outside position after rolling around on the bed, and it seemed that she would not change her mind again.

Arisa stepped over the light and lay down with her back to her, and soon the room was plunged into darkness with the sound of a switch and a tower.

When she came back from school, of course, she couldn't bring her own pajamas, and the fact that the bare clothes were a little loose on her body made Airisa can't help but press her chest.

"Have you had this experience before? I miss it so much. ”

In order to deflect her sadness, she spoke, "After returning from the first seal, I seem to be reminded of some memories that don't exist from time to time...... Our world may have been distorted. ”

"Me too."

A calm voice came from behind him, "For example, I just remembered that she had been here before. ”

After being silent for a while, Airisa pretended to speak briskly, "Are you talking about Hoshikawa-san?" Xiaoguang always doesn't call people well. Before, too, it was either Miss Witch or some other strange name......"

"Maybe it's because I hate her."

Time seems to have been frozen.

“……”

Arisa felt that she was now going to form a band in the nature of playing tickets, and then suddenly found that the members were five sets of hearts and eyes, four entanglements, three small groups, two by two, and only one was an ordinary female high school student who was isolated.

She's the one who is isolated.

Yes, what should I do? Why are you talking to me about this all of a sudden? Do you want to say bad things about others behind your back and deepen your friendship, no, no, no, it's too bad, everyone is a companion of the brave department?

There is no solidarity at all!

But when you hear this kind of top-secret level similar to the women's dormitory, can't you just ignore it? I have no experience with this at all!

And to be honest, it's not that I can't understand what Xiaoguang means......

Just before she was about to faint from brain overheating, the quilt squirmed and was dragged over most of it.

"—I can't say it's annoying."

"Next time, please finish it in one go!"

Her violent reaction startled Hikari, and Arisa rolled over and lay on her side facing each other in the dark.

Both girls' hair was still slightly damp, like two flowing clouds spread out side by side on the pillow, looking like a pair of sisters.

"Seeing her can sometimes be depressing."

Hikari stretched out his hands and gently grabbed the other party's neck, "It's like this, it's a little breathless." ”

Airisa quietly let her demonstrate herself, and suddenly said, "When you see Hoshikawa-san, or when you see them together?" ”

Downstairs, you can faintly hear the tinkling of pots and pans in the kitchen, as if a symphony is playing.

The party who was asked did not answer for a long time, and Airisa grabbed the hand that the other party wanted to withdraw as if she would not let her escape.

"Xiaoguang, do you like your childhood sweetheart?"

In the dark, the other party's breath was disturbed, and the climate in early autumn was not cold, but she could clearly feel an undetectable tremor coming from the fingertips she was holding.

"I ...... I don't know. ”

After a while, Hikari gave an ambiguous answer.

Arisa said dissatisfiedly: "It's very simple, you just imagine the scene where the two of them will get married in the future...... Woo. ”

She said as she depressed, "I'm sorry I messed up." ”

"In the year we set out on our way to the Tower, a girl in the class and Xiao Wu made a request to conclude a lover contract."

The sound of the light was as light as a thread hanging from the clouds, as if it could be blown off by just breathing.

"When I was in the sixth grade, someone confessed - what kind of girl is it? The result? ”

Although I didn't understand the purpose of her sudden mention of this, Arisa was still as interested as she heard her roommate gossip about it at night.

The futon rubbed against the sound of Si Si Suo, and Hikari shook his head.

"Xiao Wu doesn't know about this."

"How-"

The words came to an abrupt halt as she had already thought of the possibility that this would happen.

"I happened to hear what she was saying to her friend, and the day before she made her move, I asked her to meet at the back of the school building."

Hikari shook her hand back as if seeking support, "I said, Xiao Wu has already made a pact with me, and he can't sign other contracts with others. ”

"So, what is the reaction of the other party, is it angry?"

Arisa imagined how she would feel if she heard such an inexplicable thing.

She apologized in surprise, saying that she only knew that we were neighbors and didn't know that there were other relationships, and then wished us that we could always be together after we went to middle school.

"Looks like a good guy."

Hori Rinko nodded: "It's a very gentle person." ”

She curled up and covered her chest: "I feel like I've done something bad and made a mistake." ”

"It's just elementary school, it's okay!"

"But I was happy at the time."

"Huh?"

An unexpected turn of events almost threw Arisa off the ground.

The sheets grabbed by the light were wrinkled, and her voice was still flowing in the dark: "Obviously I shouldn't be happy about this, but I can't suppress the joy, because I protect the only 'special' for Xiao Wu." ”

"So, Xiao Ai asked if she liked it before, I really don't know."

She poured out her heart, "It's like everyone can't live without air, I need Xiao Wu." ”

"It's too heavy!"

Erisha couldn't help but complain, "Could it be that Xiaoguang won't be able to sleep after leaving him?" ”

"Sometimes I will, but at that time, I will exhaust myself while thinking about Xiao Wu, so that I can fall asleep."

It took a few seconds for Arisa to understand what "exhausted" meant.

"You, you, you, how can you tell someone else such a thing?!"

"Didn't Xiao Ai ask?"

"Hopefully I'll understand the math problem right next time......"

After a moment of silence, Arisa spoke softly again: "Whether you like it or not, I can't tell him anymore." After all, Hoshikawa-san has become a lover. ”

"I know. I already know. ”

Hikari turned over, put his hand on his forehead and looked up at the ceiling, "After all, it's just a covenant, and it's not okay to prevent Xiao Wu from making a higher-level and more 'special' agreement with others." ”

Arisa has a bit of a hate for her vampire constitution.

If it weren't for it, you wouldn't have to know what to do when you see the liquid coming out of the corners of the other person's eyes.

"But what should I do—"

Words that seemed to complain and cry caused empathetic sourness in Arisa's heart, and she hugged Hikari for comfort.

"It's hard."

A disgusted voice came from her bosom, and Erisha pushed her friend away.

"Excessive!"

Hikari sniffled, and seemed to have returned to normal: "Thank you, Xiao Ai." ”

The symphony from downstairs finally fell silent, and soon there was a dull sound of the door opening and closing, and soon the lights were lit in the room across the balcony.

Arisa looked at it until the yellowish light was extinguished, then turned back to face the wall.

Even if you close your eyes, you can hear the creaking sound of the bed from time to time, as if you are touching the uneasiness of another girl tossing and turning.

"Actually, I may also have the same mood as Xiaoguang."

The vibration of the bed disappeared for a while, but Arisa guessed that the other party must not fall asleep so easily, and said with a similar purpose of exchanging secrets.

"Although the nature is probably not exactly the same...... After all, we've only known each other for less than a year, but I can understand your feelings for Hoshikawa-san. ”

With some emotion, Airisa recalls what must have happened in the "original world", "At that time, I thought that Hoshikawa-san who was able to fight with him was too dazzling...... Very envious. ”

No one responded, so she continued: "Later, when I knew that the two of them confessed, I would even think, 'That's really the case.'" But it should still be sad. ”

The vampire girl couldn't help but smile: "Including the fact that I always wanted to bite Li Wu's neck later, most of it was also out of the motive of wanting to anger Hoshikawa-san......"

Hikari still didn't speak, and after hesitating for a moment, Arisa proposed, "...... Do you want to say it? Put our thoughts? ”

"No, it's too bold, what will Hoshikawa-san think when he finds out?"

"But then at least you can get a sure result......"

"Wait, if we succeed, will you and I become enemies?"

As if she was talking about stand-up comedy, Arisa muttered to herself, but all she got was a cold and violent silence.

Even though she has a supple personality, she feels a little angry.

"Xiaoguang, escaping won't solve the problem!"

She sat up abruptly and lifted the quilt next to her, "Surely you haven't fallen asleep—"

The underneath the bed was empty, and only a depression with a little residual warmth could be seen.

At this moment, Airisa's mind began to rewind.

"Little love, please sleep in bed."

"Then I'll sleep outside."

The balcony door opened a crack, like a human face grinning loudly and laughing.

"Small! Light!"

Arisa rolled over and got out of bed, and at the same time had an epiphany.

It is not "about to become an enemy", but "has become an enemy".

Rinko Hori carefully opened the door that was all too familiar to her, shook the cat's ears, and stepped into her childhood sweetheart's room like a skilled spy.

This is the stealth skill of the brave!

In fact, she was just seen by Airisa because of her embarrassing appearance, and she felt a little embarrassed, so she wanted to find a place to hide.

But when he came back to his senses, he had already subconsciously jumped onto the balcony here.

Erisa: I'm sorry.

Feeling a little sorry for the friend he left behind, Hikaru walked to his childhood sweetheart's bed and sat down on his knees facing him.

The other man fell asleep peacefully, sleeping in an unorthodox position with an arm hanging down from the edge of the bed.

She wagged her tail and wrapped it around his exposed wrist.

what should be done; What not to do, she has always been quite clear, after all, she is no longer a schoolboy who rides a bicycle to the water tower on the outskirts of the city at night to look at the stars.

In other words, it's no longer just him and her, it's just two people.

So, just in this kind of place where no one sees, and just step over that line.

She leaned forward and leaned down.

At that time, what was it like to see the scene on the rooftop of the club building?

After a long time, the light parted as if awakened from a dream and wiped the corners of his mouth.

As if she were a thief, she fled in a panic.

Back in her room, her temporary roommate should have not noticed her secret movements, and she had already fallen asleep, the room was silent, lying back on her bed with her hands and feet, and closing her eyes.

This time, she quickly fell asleep.
