Evening.

Jinguji Moon, Sugawa Alice, Katagiri Yuzhang and Matsubara Miki gather in Matsubara's room to eat hot pot.

When the lid of the casserole is lifted, the white mist slowly rises, and the rich aroma suddenly overflows.

Jingu Terakitsuki complained that Matsubara Miki would stop sending him wantonly next time, and ask for the running fee by the way.

Of course Matsubara Miki wouldn't give it, and smiled and gave a flying kiss as a reward, Jingu Terakitsuki immediately frowned in disgust.

This expression stung Matsubara Miki deeply, and he couldn't wait to scuffle with Jingu Teratsuki on the spot.

When this group of people get together, the atmosphere is not very happy, but they don't feel the pressure, they are relaxed and comfortable, and the benefits of living together as young people are reflected here.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Everyone glanced at Matsubara Miki, after all, she was the owner of this room.

She was picking up the beef cow at this moment, snorting and blowing hot air, stuffing it into her mouth, and she didn't know what to say.

"Matsubara-senpai, I'll go open the door."

Arisugawa Alice got up and walked to the entrance, and when she opened the door, she found that it was a new resident, Hoshino Mori Seino.

Hoshino Mori Hoshino is a popular figure in high school, and Alice Arisugawa naturally knows Hoshino Mori Hoshino, but Hoshino Mori Hoshino obviously doesn't remember that she had such a senior sister in high school.

Due to a chance encounter in the supermarket a few days ago, in Hoshino Mori Hoshino's opinion, there is a high probability that Alice Arisugawa is the current partner of Jingu Terakitsuki.

This made her slightly embarrassed when she faced Alice Arisugawa.

"Miss Administrator, I just went to your room, and you're not there.

"The girl who lives next door to you said that you might be here, I'm really embarrassed, I forgot the key in the room.

"Because the door lock of the house I lived in before was loose, it was difficult to lock it, so I developed a habit of ...... if I was not careful. Ah, are you finishing your meal?

"I'm sorry, I'll come back later."

Jingu Terakitsuki in the room heard a familiar voice, and just as he was hesitating whether to get up and take a look, Matsubara Miki took advantage of his daze and shouted:

"Jinguji, there are flaws!"

The chopsticks quickly stretched out and snatched away the beef balls he had just put in the bowl.

Matsubara Miki's voice was very loud, and Hoshino Mori Hoshino, who was standing at the door, was stunned when he heard it, and then he heard the sound of Jingu Teraki and Matsubara Miki fighting.

"It's okay, I'll go to my room now and get a spare key." Alice Arisugawa said with a smile.

At this time, Jingu Teraki was too lazy to deal with Matsubara Miki, and came to the entrance to investigate the situation, and sure enough, he saw Hoshino Mori Hoshino.

Hoshino Mori Hoshino saw the queen of Jinguji Tsuki, and hid the panic in his heart, and he didn't know what psychology it was, so he quickly stepped aside and waited for Alice Arisugawa to put on her shoes.

"Jinguji-kun, that, I'll go open a door for Miss Hoshino Mori, you eat first."

Jingu Teratsuki nodded silently and looked at Hoshino Mori Seino who was standing at the door, she was looking down at the tips of her shoes.

Jingu Teratsuki can't describe what it feels like.

Especially when I saw Hoshino Mori Hoshino now, he no longer had the confidence and calmness of the past in his gestures, and he was cramped and anxious to cope with everything around him, like a sheep thrown into the wolves, curled up, and had no way out.

This made Jingu Terakitsuki want to get closer to her more and more, even if he could feel that his proximity might be a kind of harm to her compared to the past.

After a long time, Alice Arisugawa came back, and several people were eating hot pot lively.

After dinner, Jingu Terakitsuki was about to go back to his room, and the door of the room next to him was wide open, and the bottom was pressed against a plastic sheet to prevent the door from closing automatically.

After a while, a young woman wearing a headscarf and an apron walked out carrying large bags of garbage.

After the last tenant checked out, although the apartment was cleaned by someone, Hoshino Mori Hoshino grew up in a clean and tidy environment, and even if he became an adult, he was still very particular about this, and he couldn't be sloppy, so he had to clean it again to be at ease.

"Senpai."

Hearing Jingu Terakitsuki's voice, Hoshino Mori Hoshino couldn't help but stiffen, slowly turned around, and said with a smile: "Hmm...... Jinguji-kun, have you had dinner? ”

She knew her question was a bit redundant.

Jingu Terakitsuki nodded, feeling the barrier between him and Hoshino Mori Hoshino, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

The next moment, Jinguji silently picked up the white plastic bag on the ground, looking like he wanted to help.

Hoshino Mori Hoshino was taken aback and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Jingu Teratsuki's words.

"I'm used to helping my senior sister, but I can't change it."

A simple sentence brought the memories of the two back to two years ago.

It's almost autumn like this.

At that time, she would smile and straighten the tie on his chest for Jingu Terakitsuki, and laugh and call the boy her secretary.

Hoshino Mori didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and stopped looking at Jingu Terakitsuki.

Jingu Teratsuki tried to lift the bag in her hand, but she shrank to the side like a frightened rabbit.

Helping Hoshino Mori Xingno, he carried the garbage to the garbage dump on the first floor of the apartment, and Hoshino Mori Xingno had already classified it in advance, so it was not troublesome to deal with.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down on her chest, and under her apron was a loose long-sleeved T-shirt with a somewhat loose neckline, which could be seen to be washed diligently, thinking that it was old clothes that had been worn for a long time.

Obviously, the person is still that person, but Jingu Terakitsuki saw a different Hoshino Mori Hoshino from her.

Jingu Terakitsuki thought about it a lot, thinking about whether they wouldn't have become so alien between them if they hadn't come to the University of Tokyo after graduating, but had followed Hoshino Morino to Keidai.

In the elevator upstairs, the elevator slowly rose, Hoshino Mori Hoshino silently shrank aside, and Jingu Terakitsuki also didn't say a word.

Jingu Teratsuki never imagined that one day, he and the girl who changed his life would become so strange.

After getting out of the elevator and coming to the door, Jingu Terakitsuki thought that even if he and this person couldn't go further, they couldn't develop into other relationships.

At the very least, in return for what she had done to herself, Jingu Terakitsuki wanted to do what she could for her.

If it was the former Hoshino Mori Hoshino, he would definitely rub his hair with a smile and say to him:

"It's really arrogant for a classmate from Jinguji Temple."

However, Hoshino Mori has changed.

Become cautious, become cautious.

Jingu Temple Moon has also changed.

He became Sakurakoji Sakura's boyfriend.

Only this, he must not forget.

XDM Merry Christmas, isn't this Christmas, ahem! Be considerate, understand everything.
