The summer is hot, the cicadas are chirping, and the sunlight outside the house carries a hot and dry atmosphere.

Jingu Terakitsuki was sitting in the room studying, there was no air conditioning in the room, only a bladeless electric fan was running, blowing a warm wind.

Basically, until the weather is particularly hot, Jingu Temple Moon does not turn on the air conditioning, and the electricity bill for the student apartment is not given in vain, and he does not have a stable job now, although he still has some savings from his previous part-time job, but if he does not save, he will soon be empty.

Since winning the gold prize in the illustrator contest of the Electric Library, Jingu Teratsuki has only received one job as an illustrator for a rookie light family, but he was cut in half after only two volumes, and is currently looking for potential rookie writers.

And those well-known light writers in the industry have long-term cooperation with illustrators, and it is not his turn to be a fledgling rookie painter.

If you can't get an illustration job anymore, Jingu Teratsuki should really consider finding a part-time job, such as being a tutor for high school students.

With his title as a university student, it should be easy to find a similar job, the only difficulty is that Jingu Terakitsuki hates dealing with adolescent imps.

Doing things you don't want to do, dealing with people you don't want to deal with, that's probably the price of becoming an adult.

Eighteen-year-old Jingu Siyue couldn't help but sigh.

"Jinguji, are you there?"

A man's knock and shout came from outside the door.

When you open the door, it's Yusho Katagiri.

"Katagiri senior, what's the matter? I guess it's not dinner time yet. ”

"Have you ever been like this?"

"Matsubara-senpai? I didn't see it, what's wrong with her? ”

Yuzhang Katagiri looked a little helpless and rubbed his temples: "I don't know where to go early in the morning, and I don't have classes today." ”

"Being entangled with your ex-wife is not a good man, but it's not going on a date."

"Don't say such scary words, the man who is dating Weixi is too pitiful!"

Jingu Siyue didn't know what to say, so she sighed and was silent.

"Well...... Let's not talk about her first, Jinguji, do you have something to do in the afternoon? ”

"Does learning count?"

"Okay, that's very free, go out with me."

"It doesn't matter."

Going out between the guys was always haphazard, and it took less than five minutes from the time they decided to go out to the time they walked out of the apartment.

The scorching sun was in the sky, the summer breeze was hot, and there was a kind of pain that the hair dryer kept blowing on the hair after taking a shower until the scalp was hot, which made Jingu Terakitsuki feel a trace of regret as soon as he walked out of the apartment.

It's too hot in Tokyo too.

"Katagiri senior, remember to invite me to ice cream later, it's expensive."

"Don't say such a sissy, you can please the shaved ice on the roof of the department store."

"What era are you?"

……

……

Jingu Teraki followed behind Katagiri Yuzhang and came to the Komaba campus, and Jingu Terakitsuki couldn't help asking, "Katagiri senior, what are you doing at the school?" ”

"Go to the club and do something."

"What did you call me out for?"

"You don't have to do anything."

"Huh? So what's the point of letting me go out? ”

Katagiri Yuzhang looked at Jingu Temple Moon helplessly: "You guy, how long have you not been out?" ”

"Hmm...... The last time I went to the library was 10 days ago, so I haven't been out for 10 days. ”

"Where in the world is there a college student who doesn't go out for ten days?"

Jingu Terakitsuki pointed at herself: "I don't just that. ”

"Don't you even go to class?!"

"This semester's classes have been completed early."

"What kind of learning demon are you?!"

Katagiri Yuzhang immediately showed a speechless expression: "I said Jinguji, you shouldn't have left any psychological shadows in high school, right?" ”

"It's rude, I was the student council president when I was in high school." Jingu Terakitsuki showed an indignant expression.

"Then may I ask if your student council presidents are all squatting at home? Really, that's why Arisugawa is worried. ”

"Arisugawa?"

"Yes, she said that you are bored in the room all day long reading and studying, which is not good for your health in the long run, and asked me to take you out for a walk occasionally and move your body.

"To be honest, I have the same opinion as her, no matter how much you love to study, you can't shrink in the room all day long, you will only be used as a yin corner by others."

Jingu Siyue let out a long sigh: "You guys are too worried. ”

Having said that, Jingu Terakitsuki has no plans to go back now, and it is rare to come to the school, and he plans to go to the library and borrow a few books to go back.

I followed Katagiri to the campus square, where most of the clubs of the University of Tokyo's Komaba campus gathered.

At the beginning of the school year, Jingu Temple Moon also thought about joining the club to visit, but after looking around, there was no club he was interested in, so he didn't leave.

Katagiri Yuaki walked into a certain club with Jingu Teraki, and Jingu Terakitsuki glanced at the words at the door, which said "Movie Club", literally, I don't know at all whether it is a club to watch a movie or make a movie.

"Mizumoto, it's early, huh? You're alone? ”

"What, it's Katagiri."

The interior of the club is not very large, and there are very old bookcases in all directions, which are stuffed with all kinds of movies and videos, and Jingu Terakitsuki almost thinks that he has walked into a video rental shop.

There is only one girl with short hair sitting here, and Katagiri Yuzhang briefly introduced the two, and the girl in front of him is named Yuka Mizumoto, the same as Katagiri Yuzhang, a third-year student in the Faculty of Liberal Arts.

"Wow! Could this be the rumored boyfriend of the Arisugawa school? It's really a talent. ”

Mizumoto Yuka stood up and looked at Jingu Temple Tsukichi, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Hello seniors, I'm Jinguji, and I'm an alumnus of high school with Arisugawa, so please give me a lot of advice."

"Hey~~ It's a serious person unexpectedly, and it's mixed with Katagiri, so don't be taken badly."

"I'll try not to get polluted." Jingu Siyue is neither humble nor arrogant, and replied so seriously.

Hearing his answer, Yuka Mizumoto suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! You're so funny. ”

"Hey, Jinguji, aren't you going to the library? Let's go! ”

"Obviously, Katagiri seniors brought me to school.,Now do you want to play play again? The seniors are really willful, no wonder the Matsubara seniors ran away. ”

"You guy!"

"See you later. I'll go back by myself after borrowing the book, and I'll cook tonight. ”

Jingu Terakitsuki immediately turned around and went out, without giving Katagiri Yuzhang any chance to complain.

"Tsk! What an unlovely junior! ”

……

……

Walking alone in school, Jingu Temple went to the library silently, fortunately the student ID was with him, and it was not a trip for nothing.

After borrowing the book, as soon as he walked out of the library, Jingu Terakitsuki heard someone next to him calling his name.

"Huh? Jingu Temple-kun. ”

When I looked back, I was dressed casually Alice Arisugawa, with long supple black hair, a pink bow on the back of her head, and a copy of the "Six Laws Code" on her chest, which was scary.

She smiled faintly and ran towards Jingu Teratsuki in small steps.

"What a coincidence." Jingu Terakitsuki said.

"Jinguji-kun, why did you come to school today?"

"I was dragged by Katagiri seniors, and I went to the library by the way."

"I see."

"What about you?"

"Me? …… Well, I've just finished listening and I'm going back to my apartment. ”

After saying that, she maintained a soft expression and her big sparkling eyes, staring at Jingu Teraki.

"Uh...... So, go back together? Jingu Terakitsuki was induced to say this.

Alice Arisugawa suddenly smiled, and nodded happily: "Okay." ”

"Ah, let's go to the supermarket before we go back, I have to buy the ingredients for tonight." She said suddenly.

"Yes, I'm cooking today."

"Then I'll have to look forward to it."

The two were walking side by side, laughing, and not far away, two or three girls were waving to greet them.

"I'm sorry, it's my friend, can I go over and talk for a while? Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you go back first. ”

"No, I'll be waiting for you here."

"Thanks, I'll be right back."

Jingu Teramatsuki stood in place, watching Arisugawa Alice walk towards the girls, and from the teasing expressions on the faces of those girls, Jingu Terakitsuki could roughly imagine what kind of conversation they would have next.

He doesn't have a habit of eavesdropping, but his hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people, so when part of the conversation fell into his ears, Jingu Terakitsuki didn't show any surprised expression.

Adult men and adult women who have reached the age of eighteen should be prepared to be ridiculed when they walk together in public.

Jingu Terakitsuki himself doesn't care, but if he causes unnecessary trouble to Arisugawa Alice because of this, he will pay attention to it in the future.

Although they are now college students, there are rumors about the former scumbag of Jingu Siyue, and they have said goodbye to him completely.

But if it causes trouble to the people around him, it is something he does not want to see.

About three or four minutes later, Arisukawa waved goodbye to several girls and walked towards him again.

Jingu Jiyue paid attention to her face, and it was really a little ruddy, after all, it was natural to be embarrassed to be said in front of her face, "Your boyfriend is so handsome", "I heard that you are living together", "Do you do it every day", etc.

In other words, the astringency of female college students is too high, and that kind of word dares to be said blatantly, the University of Tokyo is really amazing.

Of course, Alice Arisugawa explained the relationship between the two very seriously, but it seemed that her friends were taking it as a cover-up, and they all had "I understand, I understand" expressions on their faces, which made her quite helpless.

And this so-called cohabitation information, I think I know, it must be the stupid couple who said something strange at school.

Why don't you deliberately make their food unpalatable tonight?

I always feel a little sorry for the farmer uncles and aunts.

Noticing Jingu Terakitsuki's gaze, Alice Arisugawa felt slightly awkward, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Staring at me like that? ”

Jingu Siyue shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go." ”

When his friends said something like that, Jingu Terakitsuki thought that Alice Arisugawa would be like an ordinary girl, and shy kept her distance from him.

But she didn't do that, and walked calmly beside him, as if it were a matter of course.

Since Alice Arisugawa doesn't have any rejection, then Jingu Terakitsuki doesn't matter.

Walking side by side on campus, Jingu Terakitsuki glanced at the book she was holding in both hands, and saw that she would shrug her shoulders from time to time and adjust her posture of holding the book.

Jingu Teratsuki pointed to the schoolbag on his back.

"That's heavy, put it in my bag."

"Hmm, thank you......"

Jingu Siyue turned her back, and the girl unzipped the schoolbag and stuffed the "Six Laws Code" into it, and the schoolbag suddenly sank a little.

The law, as expected, is quite a heavy thing.

"Arisugawa, do you want to enter the Faculty of Law in the future?" Jingu Terakitsuki asked.

"Hmm...... Perhaps. Arisugawa Alice replied ambiguously.

"I'm still very confused about the future, but when I saw Jinguji-kun studying hard every day, I thought that I couldn't waste my time, and I had to work hard.

"What about Jingu Temple-kun?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Jingu Temple Moon told the truth.

"People who plan for a complete future from the beginning are only a minority after all." Arisugawa Alice chuckled in agreement.

"I always thought that Jinguji-kun would choose science, and with Jinguji-kun's grades, it wouldn't be difficult to enter the medical department, right?"

"The principal in high school said something similar, but I'm definitely not good at it."

"No way?" She couldn't help but wonder.

"To be a doctor, you have to have a kind heart that wants to save others, I don't have that."

"How come, Jingu Temple-kun is very kind, didn't you take me in who had nowhere to live?"

"Can that be considered kindness?" Jingu Siyue said in surprise.

"Why doesn't it count? For me, it helps me avoid sleeping on the streets. ”

"It's too exaggerated, even if it weren't for me, Arisugawa would definitely find a solution.

"And in the eyes of others, if I take you in, I will be considered to have bad intentions for a girl like you."

That's because those people take their own place, judge others by their own worldview, think that their own thoughts are the thoughts of everyone, and do not allow anyone purer than their own hearts.

"At least, I believe in Jingu Temple-kun."

Jingu Siyue was slightly silent and chuckled.

"I really hope that Arisugawa's vision is accurate."

Arisugawa Alice narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"But if it's according to you, then Arisugawa is too kind." Jingu Terakitsuki said again.

"Huh?"

"You see, you cook far more than me, so if you don't cook, I, Katagiri and Matsubara, all three of us will starve to death, this is saving three lives in one go, and there is something kinder than this?"

"Jingu Sijun, always good at sophistry in strange things, should I say that it is unreasonable or forceful, in short, I don't know what to say, I think you should be more suitable for studying law than me."

"I'll just take it as a compliment."

"It was."

……

……

That night, Jingu Terakitsuki served Katagiri Yuaki and Matsubara Miki a spicy curry, which tasted delicious, and the two of them tasted it while sweating, and their faces seemed to be red peppers with special effects, and after dinner, they protested together strongly demanding a change of chef.

In short, it can be regarded as a little revenge for Jingu Temple Moon for causing false rumors at school.

Thanks for the tip of "Bread Sauce".
