17. Childhood sweethearts are really magical creatures.

"I'm back."

I opened the door, took off my shoes and entered the house, and when I entered the living room, I smelled the aroma of food.

"You're back, a little later than usual."

"Well, I took a little stroll outside with the Sakura."

"Ahhh......h My son has finally come to his senses, and my mother is very happy. ”

"That's not the case."

Jingu Teratsuki said this, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went into another room and put the bread he bought on the shrine.

After a while, the voice of her mother, Yuko Jinguji, came from outside the house.

"Yue, it's time to eat."

"Got it."

After dinner, Jingu Terakitsuki helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then sat down in the living room, and after a variety show was broadcast on TV, he turned down the volume and read the novel.

"Speaking of which, you have a part-time job tomorrow, how about your mother prepare a bento for you, it's been a long time."

"No need, it's rare not to go to work on weekends, so you can rest at home."

"Well, then you remember to eat well at noon."

"Hmm."

The doorbell rang at this time, and the mother, who was washing the dishes, asked Jingu Terakitsuki to open the door.

When I opened the door, what appeared in front of me was Sakura Koji Sakura, which had changed into private clothes, with a pure white braided half-sleeved undershirt and a light pink sundress, full of sweet youthful atmosphere.

The short hair looks extremely soft, and there is a very good aroma on the body, which seems to have come after taking a bath.

"Why are you here?" Jinguji asked.

The girl was probably still thinking about what was going on the way home, and she didn't dare to look at Jingu Terakitsuki, and her cheeks were slightly red and she made an awkward sound.

"My mom sent a lot of vegetables and fruits from her hometown, and she asked me to share some of them."

"Yue, who's coming?" In the living room, there was a question from Yuko Jinguji.

"It's a yarn warehouse."

"Well...... Anyway, come in first. Jingu Terakitsuki said to her.

Sakura Koji Sakura nodded quietly, picked up the cardboard box containing fruits and vegetables and entered Jinguji Temple's house.

Jingu Terazuki took the cardboard box directly from her arms, and Sakura Koji Sakura took off her shoes without saying a word, and her small feet were wrapped in pure white socks embroidered with rabbit patterns.

"Excuse me."

After the two entered the house, Jingu Teratsuki entered the open kitchen with a cardboard box and put it where it should be under the instructions of her mother.

"Thank you, Sakura-chan, and say thank you to your mother on my behalf."

"Hmmm......"

Because of what happened on the way home, Sakura Koji Sakura stayed with Jingu Temple Moon, and felt a little embarrassed, originally wanted to leave immediately, and couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Jinguji Yuko, so she had to bring some snacks back, and she was searching for packaging at this time.

By the way, Yuko Jinguji works at a trading company and often takes home some of the company's staple goods.

As a result, only Jingu Terakitsuki and Sakura Koji Sakura were left in the living room, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

The girl was restless, and when she went home, she thought for a long time, thinking that her tone might be a little heavier, and she was full of thoughts about apologizing to the boy.

An indescribable atmosphere rose between the two until ......

"Whoa...... Month, can I go talk for a while? ”

Jingu Siyue glanced in that direction and nodded quietly: "She will be happy to see you coming." ”

"Hmm."

The girl walked lightly into the other room, knelt in front of the shrine, and rang the brass bill.

Jingu Jizuki stared blankly at Sakurakoji Sakura's back for a while, stood up wordlessly, went to the courtyard, and looked at the moon above his head in a daze.

I don't know how long later, the sliding door behind her made a moving sound, and the girl followed her to the courtyard and stood next to Jingu Teratsuki.

Feeling the girl's breath, Jingu Siyue felt a little relieved in his heart for no reason, and the bright moon hanging in the sky was reflected in the young man's eyes, and he asked softly:

"What did you say?"

“…… Apologized to her. ”

"Why?" He asked.

"I said something to her brother that I shouldn't have said and asked her how to reconcile."

The boy was silent for a moment.

"What did my sister say?"

"She said, Yuejun won't be angry with me."

"Probably." She added.

Jingu Terakitsuki was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at her, and met the girl's shining amber eyes.

"Well, it's my sister's style."

"Right." Sakura Koji Sakura smiled shallowly.

It's just a few words, and the unpleasantness on the way home has evaporated.

Inexplicable, incredible.

Many times in the past, Jingu Teratsuki always felt that he was in a large forest, surrounded by a fog that obscured his vision, and he lost his way and lost himself as he walked.

After that, he cowardly stopped, not even daring to retreat.

But Sakura-koji Sakura is different, she may also feel hesitant and lost, but she never stops moving forward, and tries to help Jingu Teratsuki who stopped in place.

The boy looked at the childhood sweetheart who had been by his side for more than ten years, and various memories of the past came to mind, and they had been together since he could remember.

Naturally, there were quarrels, there were cold wars, and then they rebuilt themselves, stumbling on the same road, and parting ways at forks in the road, but in the end the two roads converged again.

Jingu Temple thought that in the next five years, ten years, maybe longer, this girl would be standing not far from him, and the side ponytail would be swaying in the wind.

Childhood sweethearts, they are really magical creatures.

"Wow, Sakura."

"Huh?"

Jingu Siyue looked at the moon stunned: "I seem to be tired of being a scumbag who is popular with girls." ”

Sakura Koji Sakura wrinkled his nose lightly and snorted, "What's that?" Are you showing me off? The moon is really annoying~"

"Does that sound like that?"

"Don't be complacent, there are a lot of boys in our club who are pursuing me, I don't even know about it!"

The girl showed a smug demeanor, completely forgetting that she had a boyfriend.

When Jingu Siyue heard this, he looked unmoved, and echoed softly: "I know, Tanaka, and Xiaoizumi." ”

"Huh? How do you know about the month? Sakura Koji Sakura was taken aback.

Jingu Siyue glanced at the girl: "Probably, it's because you've been deliberately showing it to me." ”

"I ...... I'm not going to do that kind of thing. ”

She shyly turned her head, her fingers constantly wrapped around the side ponytail, which was cute.

There was silence between the two for a long time, and the young man let out a long breath and sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"Thank you, Sakura."

"What are you thanking me for?"

The boy thought for a moment and said calmly, "Thank you for still being there." ”

Sakura Koji's face was slightly red, and under the moonlight, the crystals on the hairrope that tied the side ponytail were shining.

“…… Stupid month, I promised my sister that I wanted to train you to be an excellent man. ”

"But I don't seem to have the memory of being raised by you."

"That's why you embarked on the road of a scumbag, and I don't know what face I will have to see her in the future."

Jingu Teratsuki laughed softly.

"Then it looks like we're going to be reprimanded by her together."

"Hmph—

"Who's going to be with you."

With that, she chuckled softly.
