December 24th.

Jinguji got up early and went downstairs to wash, while her mother was already making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Month, move faster."

"Got it."

After breakfast, I went out with my mother, and the cold wind in December was really biting, as if I had applied a layer of polishing paste to my skin, and kept polishing in circles.

The breath quickly turned into white mist, slowly rising, holding the scarf around his neck with his hand, burying half of his face in the scarf, and his hands tightly inserted in the pockets of his coat.

Today, I don't take the train, and my mother drives a private car, but Jingu Terakitsuki's mother is not very good at driving, and his father usually drives it.

Sitting in the passenger seat, the young man looked through the car window and looked at the warm winter sun hanging high in the sky, stunned.

The car stopped outside the shopping street, and Jingu Teratsuki got out of the car and walked towards a shop with many plants and flowers at the door.

Pushing the door in, the owner, a woman in her thirties, greeted him warmly when she saw Jinguji.

"Yuejun, welcome."

"Hello, Ms. Kanzaki."

"I'm here to pick up flowers, I've already wrapped them for you." The female shopkeeper handed a bouquet of flowers to Jingu Teratsuki and smiled softly.

"Thank you."

After picking the flowers, there was no greeting, and Jingu Temple Moon left.

Back in the car, Jingu Teratsuki continued to be in a daze, the car drove in the center of the city, surrounded by tall buildings, and his mother rarely asked him how he was doing at school.

Maybe it's because of Jingu Teraki's steady grades, or because of last year's school suspension, his mother rarely asks him about school since then, or maybe she knows that her son will only fool her vaguely.

But today is a special day, Jinguji Yuko understands her son's character, but today, he will be a good boy in the eyes of everyone.

And after hearing that Jinguji Yue became the student president, Jinguji Yuko was obviously stunned, and her expression was slightly in a trance.

"Well, it's the same as my sister."

“…… Well. ”

Looking at the tall buildings outside the car, Jingu Siyue responded lightly.

After arriving at the destination, the mother went to buy incense, and the Jingu Temple Moon took a bucket of water next to the temple, and in previous years, the father did this, and the Jingu Temple Moon was only responsible for watching behind him, and this year the father was not there, so this matter fell on the head of the Jingu Temple Moon.

Jingu Temple Moon has been to this cemetery many times, and the tombstones erected around it look like high-rise buildings in the city center.

I went with my mother to a place in the cemetery, in front of a tombstone that read "The Tomb of the Jinguji Family".

There are three people buried here, two of whom are the younger brother and sister-in-law of Jingu Terakitsuki's father, who died in a traffic accident when they were in the sixth grade of Jingu Terakitsuki Elementary School.

Their daughter, who survived the accident, is Jingu Teraki's cousin, and is eventually adopted by Jingu Terakitsuki's parents.

To this day, Jingu Siyue still doesn't know, and it is not clear whether my sister regarded them as real family members in the end.

After the incense was applied, the mother and Jingu Teratsuki took turns watering and cleaning the tombstone.

Tomb sweeping on Christmas Eve is a rare thing, and for the Jinguji family, this has long been a habitual thing.

Jingu Terakitsuki still couldn't forget that night, and when he thought that every Christmas Eve in his life from now on, he had to recall the events of that night, and he felt that the girl was really a cruel person.

……

……

After sweeping the grave, it was almost noon, and his mother asked him what he wanted to eat, and Jingu Teratsuki said that he had made an appointment with Sakura Koji Sakura, so he missed an opportunity to have a big meal.

I didn't go back to Liberty Hill, so I made an appointment with Sakura Koji Sakura to meet on the spot, because it was Christmas Eve, and the streets were full of young men and women in pairs.

Because the tomb sweeping ended sooner than expected, Jingu Teratsuki waited in front of the station for nearly twenty minutes, and finally saw Sakurakoji Sakura's figure.

"Huh? You won't have to wait long, will you? ”

"Almost."

"Already there?" Sakura Koji Sakura asked.

"Hmm."

"Mood shifted?"

"What do you mean?"

"What can it be, in the past Christmas Eve, when was you not depressed, after I watched it, I didn't even dare to talk to you."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Think about it."

Jingu Siyue remembered his past self, and at that time, he was far from the word sound, probably very close to the word Honkai.

"Hmm...... Maybe. ”

And today, on the way to sweep the tomb, it's incredible, Jinguji Yueman's mind is full of school, student union, painting, and things that are just some things that ordinary high school students should do.

Is Jingu Teratsuki an ordinary high school student?

At least not once.

But he seems to have gradually integrated into it, not only in his actions, but also in his thinking.

Otherwise, how could he be on this unforgettable day, his head was full of rose-colored youth.

As a result, he inevitably began to doubt himself again, wondering if he had forgotten his important family members.

However, Jingu Terakitsuki quickly made a judgment that he did not forget this memory, but chose to treasure it precisely because it was an important family member.

But in the past Jingu Temple Moon, I don't know how long it will take to come up with this answer.

"Month, it's really not the same as before."

The girl who was a childhood friend stood in front of him, looking up at him, her beautiful eyes narrowed into thin lines, and her amber pupils flashed with emotions that were warmer than the warm sun.

"Isn't it good?"

"It's not that it's bad."

"That's?"

"I want you to be braver, but I'm afraid you'll be too brave."

Jingu Siyue sighed helplessly: "Can you not play dumb riddles, and hate riddlers when you say yes?" ”

Sakura Koji Sakura suddenly laughed "hee-hee-hee", although it was a little contrived, but it was quite cute.

"Hey, I'm hungry, let's go eat something first."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Hmm...... Can you let me choose a store? ”

Jingu Siyue nodded although he was a little puzzled.

So, Jingu Temple Rain followed Sakura Koji Sakura and came to a certain family restaurant, just from the appearance, it was really mediocre, and I couldn't see anything outstanding.

Jingu Teratsuki thought that Sakura Koji Sakura would definitely choose those shops that looked bells and whistles from the exterior decoration.

After walking into the store, they sat down in the corner, and a waitress came over with a menu.

"Welcome, what do you want?"

Sakura Koji Sakura picked up the menu and looked at it, but Jingu Terakitsuki, who was sitting opposite, was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the waiter's voice was really familiar.

Looking up, as expected, he looks almost exactly the same as the former student president of Kamakura High School.

"Chairman Hoshino Mori ......"

The girl in the restaurant uniform waved her index finger: "Woohoo! I'm not the president. ”

Jingu Siyue looked at the girl in front of him in amazement, and then turned his gaze to Sakura Koji Sakura, this childhood sweetheart didn't have any surprise on his face, but an expression of appreciation for Jingu Siyue's surprise.

Obviously, she knew that Hoshino Mori worked here.

Hoshino Mori Hoshinoto showed a playful smile: "Two guests, is it a Christmas date?" ”

Sakura snorted softly, "Who wants to date this guy." ”

"It's not like that." Jingu Terakitsuki said.

"Instead, it will ...... What is Senpai doing here? ”

"Huh? Can't I see how I dress? Work...... If Jinguji-san, if you're not satisfied with this word, experience society.

"You see, I'm graduating soon."

Well...... It's barely an acceptable answer, but as for working at a family restaurant?

And, would her parents approve of such a thing?

If Jingu Terakitsuki remembers correctly, Hoshino Mori Seino's tutor should be quite strict, not like the type that would allow her to work outside.

All in all, Jingu Teratsuki is still in the stage of being slightly confused, and the main source of this confusion is whether Sakura Koji Sakura and Hoshino Mori Hoshino have a better relationship.

I don't know if Sakura Koji Sakura has been here many times before this.

Jingu Teratsuki suddenly remembered that during the cultural festival, Hoshino Mori Hoshino always disappeared after school, and for a while he appeared in the school conference room with dark circles under his eyes.

"Senpai...... May I take the liberty of asking, how long have you been working here? ”

"You say this? Not...... Today is the third day of work. ”

"Sounds like there's somewhere else." Jingu Teratsuki was keenly aware of the other meanings in her words.

"Convenience stores, izakayas, telephone customer service, and newspaper delivery."

"Part-time superman?!" Jingu Teratsuki was completely shocked.

"Hey...... Awesome. ”

"I'm not praising you!"

Jingu Siyue suddenly held his forehead.

So he was so tired at the cultural festival, and he took over the work of Hoshino Mori Hoshino with it, just to let this person work with peace of mind?

"Senpai......"

"Huh?"

"Divide my half." The teenager said.

"Huh? Why? I'm not going to do it! ”

Well...... Anyway, just kidding, Jingu Terakitsuki didn't really want her money.

After all, it's that Hoshino Mori Hoshino, even if she works multiple jobs, she must have her reasons.

For some reason, as long as it involves Hoshino Mori Hoshino, no matter how incomprehensible things are, Jingu Teraritsuki will always subconsciously think that Hoshino Mori Hoshino has his own thoughts and opinions.

But if the part-time worker is Sakura Koji Sakura, Jingu Terakitsuki will immediately think that she has spent all her pocket money.

This is probably also Jingu Temple's prejudice.

After Hoshino Mori Hoshino left, Jinguji Tsuki looked at Sakura Koji Sakura with a puzzled face.

"Why is Senpai here?" Jingu Terakitsuki couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't she just say it, part-time job."

"All I asked was why I was working here."

"Then how do I know?"

"Aren't you familiar with each other?"

"Huh? Why should I know my childhood sweetheart's ex-girlfriend very well? ”

Okay, when I didn't ask.

Seeing Jingu Teratsuki's speechless expression, Sakura Koji Sakura laughed out loud.

"How? Do you want to thank me? ”

"Thank you for what?"

"The waitress of an ex-girlfriend is dressed up, and generally you can't see it."

"Yes, yes~ laughed and laughed."

After lunch, Sakura Koji Sakura suddenly took out the manga from her bag and looked at it, Jingu Terakitsuki thought she couldn't walk because she was too hungry to walk, so she had to rest for a while.

It wasn't until Hoshino Mori Hoshino, who had changed into his private clothes, walked towards them and said to Sakura Koji Sakura with a smile, "Let's go", that Jingu Teratsuki finally sensed that something was wrong.

"Wait! Does this 'we' of yours include me? ”

Sakurakoji Sakura and Hoshino Mori Seino glanced at each other, laughed coquettishly, and walked out of the store holding each other's arms.

Jingu Teratsuki suddenly begins to suspect that he may be part of the wonderful play of these two ex-girlfriends.

……

……

Jingu Terazuki originally thought that today was a two-person world with Sakura Koji Sakura, but Sakura Koji Sakura seemed to prefer a threesome.

He didn't have any dissatisfaction, after all, it was Sakura Koji Sakura who offered to go out with him, and if she wanted Hoshino Mori Hoshino to be present, Jingu Teraritsuki wouldn't have any opinion.

It's just that this is inevitable, and it brings a trace of doubt to Jingu Teraki.

What exactly did Sakura Koji Sakura think of him.

Whether you still treat him as a boy you like, Jingu Temple Moon thought, this promise is beyond doubt.

It's just that her thoughts and actions don't seem to be unified, and the evidence is that her relationship with Hoshino Mori Seino is surprisingly good.

Walking behind the two and looking at the two ex-girlfriends walking side by side in front of him, the teenager thought so from the bottom of his heart.

Sakurakoji Sakura seems to be the core of the three, and the reason for saying this is because she has the most experience in going out and playing.

Hoshino Mori Hoshino is a deep lady, she hasn't even been to a family restaurant a few times before, and now she has evolved into an employee of a family restaurant.

And although Jingu Terakitsuki often picks up girls, but going out to play with friends is at best only when I was in elementary school, going to the park to play in the sand with boys who play football together.

Therefore, Sakura Koji Sakura was naturally planned to be in the ranks of the current charge, and the place where the current charge took the two was karaoke.

"A man and two women, a dimly lit secret room, is it a bit excessive?"

Before entering the box, Hoshino Mori Hoshino spoke to himself in a very confused manner.

Unfortunately, it was heard by a passing waiter, which attracted the other party's suspicious eyes, as if he suspected that the three of them were planning to do something in karaoke.

As expected, the former student council president came to karaoke for the first time, and Sakura Koji Sakura was no longer surprised by this, pulling her to order songs in front of the machine, while Jingu Terakitsuki shrank in the corner, silently acting as an audience.

Sure enough, I'm part of their play.

At this time, the accompanying music is played in the stereo, and Jingu Terakitsuki glances at the screen, which is Aya Hirano's "Love Color Sora".

What should I say, it's a track that is suitable for winter, but the atmosphere is really wrong.

Sakura Koji Sakura sang energetically, and Hoshino Morino, as an audience, served as the atmosphere group very popularly.

After a song, it was Hoshino Mori Hoshino's turn, she was a little shy, and she still didn't seem used to the karaoke atmosphere.

It stands to reason that this is the time when there should be some simple national songs.

However, at this time, what sounded in the stereo was Nana Mizuki's "Glassy Vanity".

…… These two guys, they did it on purpose.

Jingu Teratsuki thought helplessly.
