where the wind goes

—] Lin!

——Tomo~mi!

There is no need for polite greetings, as long as a close hug and hearing the other party call out the familiar nickname, you can gain insight into the memories that have not been shared together since we parted.

Yuko's thin but extremely powerful embrace tightly surrounded me, and the calming breath was also mixed with the temperature that almost made people cry, making my eye sockets moist inappropriately.

It was obviously a reunion after a long time, and it should be a happy and gratifying reunion, why did it make Tomo feel a little sad?

Sure enough, it was all because of seeing Yuko.

Because it is Yuko, the noisy, lively, and high-energy reunion in the imagination will also become like this, making people laugh with tears while being sincerely full of joy.

——Why is Tomomi here?Yuko seemed to be talking on the phone just now. Although she was emotional after the hug, she could only grab Tomo's arm with her right hand that was not holding the phone. Gray home dress: Didn't the phone say next week?

——Because I really want to see Korin, I came to see you right away Chiyuu~

- Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Tomo is so cute~!The abnormal problem is still the same as before, as soon as Tomo acted like a baby, he immediately stretched out his arms and hugged me, like an uncle kept rubbing his chinchilla face against my cheek, laughing loudly "Hey hey hey hey" : Since you're here, I can't let you go!Oh oh oh~ Tomo's face is so soft and cute!

【Pervert~】

——Okay, okay~ okay!In fact, I told Tomo that コリン is going to have a hot pot party at home today, so Tomo came to Chiyuu on his own initiative~ Doesn’t コリン welcome Tomo?

--well?How could it be!

Yuko made a face of "how could such a thing happen" and introduced me to everyone already present.

While she was chattering about the introduction, Tomo took advantage of the gap here to look at everyone in the living room who was also looking at Tomo.

……

The one with beautiful light-colored short hair and a subtle friendly smile towards me is probably Tomo who graduated from high school a year earlier, but is still a popular person in the school. There is even the beautiful and elegant Mariko-senpai.

After graduating from university, she is still as tender as a high school girl, and she has a good relationship with Tomo in high school.

There is also Ah-chan and Sae-chan whom Yuko often hears on the phone even though they have never met.

【A-chan is so cute! Sae-chan is also so handsome!Oh, no, Chiyu is too handsome~! 】

……

And, the one who just stared at Tomo and Yuko with eyes that I don’t know what words to describe, but now lowered her head to play with her hair, Kojima Haruna-senpai.

——Excuse me, I’m Kasai Tomomi, please take care of Chiyuu~!

After Mariko-senpai and the others sent Tomo a warm welcome, Tomo also formally greeted everyone again, and then joined the "Hot Pot Party" which seemed to be far from reaching the hot pot stage.

—Yeah, almost forgot.When Yuko was about to sit down next to Kojima-senpai, she suddenly slapped herself on the forehead with a dramatic "snap", and then handed the home skirt that she had been holding on for a long time but hadn't put down to Kojima-senpai. In front of the eyes: na na, こじぱ, put this on.

--Why?Mariko-senpai couldn't help leaning forward to take a closer look, and raised her eyebrows: You P, what is this? Nyaro's exclusive nightdress?

If so, it's really surprisingly simple, for a beauty-level Kojima-senpai.

——Well, that’s okay too... After Yuko stuffed the clothes into the arms of the person next to her, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen to prepare the hot pot that was about to be served in a while under Ah-chan’s expectant eyes: It's time to eat ~ こじぱ That skirt is too short, no, it's too beautiful, it won't be good if it gets dirty after a while... So, change it when you eat, change it~!

……

"What, duplicity guy..."——Ah!Why did Yangcai hit me on the head again?

I don't know if it's Tomo's eyesight, but Mi-chan seems to be under the threat of Kojima-senpai's eyes, and she and Sae-chan reluctantly went to help in the kitchen.

So, now only Mariko-senpai and Tomo are left in the living room with frowning faces desperately pressing their phones, not knowing who they are sending emails to, and Kojima-senpai who is staring at the light gray home dress in a daze with a rare complicated expression.

As expected of Kojima-senpai, she has a very feminine expression on the tangled expression of her clothes, and she can be so cute even when she is dissatisfied. She is indeed a beauty that even Tomo recognizes~!

However, is it because her taste can't tolerate Korin's fashion vision that is never cute enough?But didn't Korin say that this is the clothes she often wears here?So, there shouldn't be any reason to be picky and unsuitable, right?

【Ah... Speaking of the exclusive nightdress, it really is the special treatment only for Kojima-senpai. 】

Thinking of this, Tomo's mood is inevitably a little delicate.

It's been several years, and it's still like this. It's really unexpected that it doesn't work...

——Hey, hey, is this going to start?Just now I was busy delivering letters and forgot to ask you, why hasn't Youp's girlfriend come yet?Looking at Yuko who was holding a hot pot and putting it on the dining table in the living room, Mariko-senpai finally raised her head from the screen of her mobile phone, and stopped Ah-chan, who could no longer see anything else: Let's start like this, to the heroine Impolite?

——Ah, Saki her...

By the way, except for Kojima-senpai and Tomo, I almost forgot about that Ogura-san Chiyuu~

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Chiyuu~!

—— Tomomiside——

①

Before graduating from junior high school, because my father's job was going to be transferred back to Tokyo, so as the last commemoration before moving, I went to the open day of a nearby high school with my friends who were supposed to go to high school together.

"Hey~ Sakuradaka's uniform, isn't it cute?"

"Wow~! It's really cute! Even if it's cilantro, it'll look pretty even if you put it on~?"

"It's annoying~ Mochi is so annoying! Do you only speak sweet words when you want to touch someone's ear?"

"No~ No~ Yes! Mochi just thinks that Tomomi will be cuter if she wears it~!"

……

Girls may really be nothing more than simple and cute creatures. When choosing the direction of future education, "the uniforms of this school are cute enough" can be the most serious reason, but even this is the most serious reason in the eyes of adults. This is definitely the most naive and ridiculous reason. In the eyes of Tomo, who is about to leave his dear friends and familiar campus, it is actually an enviable persistence.

Tomo, I also want to continue being with everyone...

Giving advice and comments on different high school uniforms, going to the dessert shop with friends after school to sabotage the weight loss plan, taking pictures of photo stickers, getting new nail designs or buying beautiful new dresses, and having a pajama party with close relatives and friends I will hold a "private clothing show" or something...

In the past, it was just the most ordinary and inconspicuous thing, but now, even discussing the long-awaited Sakura uniform with Mochi and the others has become a luxury.

Tomo, I don't want to be separated from everyone.

It would be too annoying if Tomo was left alone.

"Tomo! Tomo! To~mo—!"

Just when he was thinking about the sad place and Tomo's tears were about to fall, a deafening Encore sound suddenly came from his ear.

【Ah?Are you calling Tomo? 】

Tomo was surprised to hear such undulating, long-lasting encore centered on his own name in the unfamiliar Beiwenqiu Higher Academy.

When I realized it, I had followed Mochi and Coriander to the center of the exciting call.

There are promotional posters of the Sakura High Club on the walls of the basketball hall, so what caused the sensation was actually just a performance by the high school girls' group for the school's publicity day?

The general high school gymnasium is extremely crowded, and the people who came to the open day are probably all gathered here, right?I only saw parents and students of different costumes, ages, and genders, both men and women, were gently dancing with the girls on the simple stage—or nodding or beating the time with their feet, while the girls on the stage When the girls finish a performance, there will be the same attention-grabbing applause erupting from the crowd just now.

"Yu-u-ko-!"

"Ebony plum - sauce!"

"Tomo—!"

……

Deafening.

The sound of Tomo made people feel particularly deafening.

The girls on the stage and Tomo looked about the same age, although they must be older, but visually, they didn't seem to be as tall as Tomo.

However, the firmness in her eyes, the glistening sweat in every move, and the beautiful, stretched and neat dance moves all make the contemporary Tomo look small and mediocre.

They are also girls at the best age, and they also dress themselves up with care. Why, on the stage, she appears to be several times, dozens of times brighter than Tomo, who is ashamed of himself off the stage?

Why, while having such a lovely appearance, also have such beautiful, sharp, firm and courageous eyes?

……

Tomo also hopes that one day in the future, he can have the same eyes as her, and like her, just looking like her makes people feel bold and strong.

Is it because of dreams?

Just looking at her beautiful dancing posture and her proud and lonely back, in an instant, Tomo seemed to hear the sound of a stone falling from somewhere in his heart.

Something is becoming extremely solid in the body.

That night, I confessed to my parents, and Sister Liyin that I wanted to stay here and go to Sakura High School to continue my studies, and I asked them to allow Tomo to say "sound" for the first time since I grew up. ask".

——When I was in Sakura High, I always felt as if I saw hope that could make Tomo become strong and truly grow.

——Is that so?

After hearing my rare serious words, Sister Liyin showed a gentle smile to Tomo and me: If my Tomo said so, then Liyin will stay here with you instead of parents who have to go back to Tokyo.

——I will take care of you in the next three years~ Tomomi.

——Please take care of me!In the future, Zhimei will work hard to live seriously!

Looking back many years later, the day I decided to stay in my hometown and was promoted to Sakura High was the first time Tomo and I met in the crowd.

②

——Ah, sho her... After putting the hot pot full of ingredients on the dining table, Yuko couldn't help but grabbed her earlobe with both hands, and made a "hiss—ss—" sound from her mouth , paused for a while before answering Mariko's wicked question: I called just now and said that I wanted to send a proofreading draft on the way here, but I was accidentally called back to the publishing house by my senior, and it may take a while to arrive , So let me convey my apologies to everyone.

After fiddling with the beef and mushrooms in the hot pot, Yuko thoughtfully refilled everyone’s glasses with Sae-chan. The serious character inevitably followed with a heartfelt apology: I’m sorry for being late and making everyone wait for her , so let's start, shall we?It looks like Saki will solve it with the seniors at work.

——Are you not coming?

--how come!Yuko waved her hand, urging the wide-eyed Mi-chan to sit closer to the table, obviously sure of her girlfriend's eagerness to see her relatives and friends: Saki suggested that she wanted to meet you, so how could she not come?I'm just sorry, everyone treats it as an appointment for afternoon tea, now let's start by ourselves first, shall we?

—surname... is it?

--Why?Hearing Kojima-senpai's barely audible voice, Yuko raised her head as if confirming that she was not hallucinating, and the task of lifting the lid of the pot could only be entrusted to A-chan's urging gaze. Stressed Sae-chan: こじぱ is the last name of Saki?The surname is Ogura, and the name is Ogura Saki.After speaking, he turned his head sideways and used his fingers to write Chinese characters on Kojima-senpai's palm for her to see.

——It’s a girl who looks like a flower blooms when she smiles!After saying this sentence, he suddenly blushed a little, as if he felt that his tone of boasting about his girlfriend was too obvious, so he touched his nose as if to cover up: ...Although it is still not as cute as こじぱ.

"Ahhhh—?!"

Except for Kojima-senpai, almost everyone questioned after Yuko finished adding the last sentence, such as "You-chan's statement is too cunning!", "It's too much~! Yup is not afraid that his girlfriend will be unhappy when he said that. What? By the way, which publishing house does Ogura-san work for?!", and "Yuko, you guys, be serious!", "Bastard! You are molesting Hina again there! Do you have any? Is it my girlfriend's man!?" Such and such, and because the endless questions were too noisy, Yuko couldn't even find a point to intervene in the answer, let alone a rebuttal.

"...Really, is Hina cuter?"

It's a pity that even this sentence was not heard.

——It’s too long-winded, you bad friends!Even eating hot pot can't stop your mouths!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"Who put this rice cake in?You don’t have udon and rice cakes in beef hotpot, right? !

——It will be delicious if you put rice cakes in it...

Tomo doesn't have such a good hearing ability to judge whether the words are said by Sae-chan or Mi-chan, who are sitting on the sofa in a very hard posture. I only know that Sae-chan's chopsticks are just about to pick up the konjac shreds, and the target is right there. Together with a large piece of beef, it was snatched away with chopsticks very sensitively.

——Nyannyan is really like a cat at this time, moving so slowly, all the delicious food will be snatched up by these guys!

Yuko used the chopsticks that hadn't touched her lips to put all the beef and konjac shreds she had just snatched into Kojima-senpai's empty bowl. Seeing that the other party still didn't intend to join the "chopsticks war", she simply went more directly He snatched Kojima-senpai's bowl into his own hand: ah!This mushroom is delicious~!I have already prepared it beforehand, so it tastes good when I eat it now, and there is no problem at all.And, and, this beef is a famous product...

——Don’t clip so much~ Xiaoyou!There are too many, Yangcai will be shooting magazines next Tuesday, and she needs to go on a diet~

--Why! ?My princess figure has always been amazing~!Which blind editor would make you go on a diet?While complaining that the editor, photographer, and planner are all blind, the business of grabbing food from the mouths of the wolves for Kojima-senpai has not stopped at all: Then... just give こじぱ more tofu and konjac shreds, these are not good Will it grow meat... Hey! Sae-chan, go eat beef for me~!Hello!

……

It’s an understatement to say that コリン and high school haven’t changed at all. Her "こじじぱMy Princess Syndrome" has actually deteriorated to the end now...

Totally helpless.

……

--Huh? Why is Tomomi so reserved today?

While I was watching Korin's every move carefully as Caijia said, Korin, who was far away from Tomo, suddenly put a large chopsticks of food into Tomo's bowl: Eat more~!Although Okonomiyaki is delicious, I have always been worried whether you can get used to Kansai food...

—] Lin...!

Ignoring for the time being the gaze from Korin's side that was about to shoot Tomo right through, Tomo really wanted to hug this guy in front of him who was worried about me with eight eyebrows.

I still remember when she resolutely decided to move to Osaka a few years ago, she also used this expression, her beautiful golden brown eyes overflowed with infinite worry and sadness, and she patted my cheek and saw me off at the station .

……

Yuko would definitely be the most affectionate and gentle lover.

If you are with Yuko, you will be happy.

This is something Tomo has figured out three years ago, if not earlier.

【ding dong~】

When Mariko-senpai complained about Yuko's posture of taking care of girls, she looked like a stupid boyfriend who had dated her little girlfriend, when we all heard the doorbell ringing at the gate.

——Yuko?

There was a knock on the door from the entrance. Although they were lovers, it seemed that they hadn't reached the point of exchanging apartment keys yet.After hearing the doorbell, Yuko immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, ran towards the door, and immediately heard the sound of the door lock opening with a "click".

——Wow~!Saki, welcome!Everyone is here~

——Yes, yes, excuse me~!Following the sound, the one who put away the bag in the hallway and walked into the living room with Yuko was a person with long black hair and natural and clean facial features, but somehow he was able to bring it to him just in the blink of an eye. A young woman with a faint and charming temperament: I am very sorry for being late for so long. I am Saki Ogura. It is the first time we meet. Please take care of me.

The baggy knitted sweater is casual but not bloated. In addition to reflecting the texture and excellent design of the clothes themselves, it also undoubtedly highlights the slender figure of the owner of the clothes.

The voice of speaking is naturally slightly drunk. It is different from the cute and sexy girl Tomo has been pursuing, and it is also different from Kojima-senpai's innocent gentleness blended with seductive charm. This is just a cloak-style windbreaker. Saki Ogura, who can interpret the elegance and charm of a young woman on her arm, even if she is not a rival in love, Tomo can already feel the threat of her charm at the first sight.

Korin is not tall, but his ability to pick up girls is really not to be underestimated.

Or is it true that her female popularity and luck are so good, not to mention Kojima-senpai, even such a beautiful woman with mature adult beauty will jump at her like a moth to a flame?

……

--Why! ?Ogura-san!It's really Ogura-san! ?

Just when everyone politely stood up to welcome Ogura-san, Mariko-senpai passed by A-chan excitedly and stood opposite Yuko and Ogura-san: "I was still thinking when I heard Yup say the name." Ah~ there probably won't be such a coincidence in the world." Unexpectedly, it was really Ogura-san from Haifeng Publishing House!Thank you so much for the magazine interview~!

—Where is it, I want to thank Shinoda-san for giving us such brilliant topics and conversation collection.

In the face of the former business partner who suddenly appeared at a private party, Ogura-san was very polite and polite, and he was very social when he greeted us, with a generous smile, and his attitude towards Tomo who came uninvited Very gentle and amiable.

After exchanging greetings and introducing each other, they also presented their own handmade cookies as snacks for everyone, which is thoughtful.

It goes well with コリン who is popular among friends.

——Ah~ It looks delicious~!Why?The cushion is also cute~

Facing the hot pot, he folded his palms and showed a smile comparable to that of Ah-chan, but Ogura-san was obviously troubled by the girls sitting around the table—probably, he was worrying about the seating problem?

The situation at that time was: A-chan, Mariko-senpai, and Kojima-senpai were sitting on one side of the table, Korin was sitting next to Kojima-senpai at the corner of the table, then Sae-chan and Mi-chan were sitting on the sofa, and finally, It was Tomo who sat closest to the door, facing Korin.

——Saki, come and sit here!

Because there were not enough cushions, Tomo felt guilty and wanted to use his own seat for Ogura-san, but Yuko just asked Tomo to move a seat to A-chan's side, and then moved the one that Tomo was using to the side With a wave, after urging everyone to sit down, Xiao Cangsan squeezed and sat next to him.But even though she could only sit directly on the floor like this, she kept laughing "hehehehe" and joked with Mariko-senpai, looking very happy.

——Xiaoyou, won't it be cold like this?And it's uncomfortable, right?

--Why?It's okay!Yuko waved her hand, and told everyone about a column that Ogura-san was writing and published in a women's magazine without caring.

……

[It's like a helpless princess who was locked in a fairy tale castle by a cute pink heart-shaped lock, and then discarded, beautiful and helpless. 】

……

——Hey~ hey!Speaking of "the reason why I can't fall in love", how did Yu-chan and Ogura-san know each other?Ah-chan has been a listener willingly for a long time for the food, and now seeing the topic is related to love, it seems that the curiosity that has been suppressed for a long time can no longer be restrained: I am very curious~!

——Speaking of this... Yuko scratched her cheek embarrassingly: It's just a very common kind...

--well! Sae knows! Sae knows!Sae-chan, who was obsessed with eating hot pot in order like a paranoid at first, immediately felt excited when he heard this topic: Sae is a witness!That idiot Yuko, she ran to...

……

——Tomi-chan, don't you mind?While listening attentively to Sae-chan's account of the day Yuko and Ogura-san met for the first time, Mariko-senpai asked me that question for some reason, and put her hand on my shoulder very gently. Although Tomo didn't understand why, he thought that as long as he answered "I don't mind, it's okay", it should be fine, right?So that's the answer...

--Why? Tomomi-chan and Yuko...?Ogura-san looked at Mariko-senpai and me, with a surprised expression, but still with a very kind smile: Why didn’t Yuko mention this to me?Turning around, she called Korin's name in a very sweet voice: Yu~ko!Having such a cute girlfriend, why didn't I report it to Saki sooner~!

——Oh, no...obviously...

——Saki is jealous~!Yup, you are too bad, but Saki is jealous~!

【Ah, Tomo seems to understand a little bit...does everyone here always think that Tomo is Korin's ex-girlfriend?

...Holah, sure enough, if you understand it this way, Tomo will understand why Mariko-senpai asked that question just now.

Even Kojima-senpai's kind eyes, which have been unspeakable to Tomo since high school, now understand the reason...]

Is that so?So what are the ones, twos, threes, and fours on the phone talking about~!

……

——I have seen Mi Jiang with my own eyes!In the name of "Hot Dance Club" department work, I ended up eating Tomomi tofu all the time there!The two got into such a fight that even a guy like Itano sometimes couldn't practice dancing, and finally had to pack up and go home... Ah, and that time!During the sophomore cultural festival, I actually snatched the monologue from the play "The Forbidden Two" from another drama club to choreograph, and then insisted on dancing with Tomomi!

--ah!Speaking of which, Shinoda seems to have an impression too!On the day of the cultural festival, I made a special trip back from Tokyo to watch it. It turned out that within a minute of the appearance, Nyaro had to turn to watch the "Animal Fun Wrestling" that was added, so that Shinoda didn't see Yup and Tomomi-chan Interlocking fingers, snuggling up to that section...

——What, Sae also seems to go to the same high school as you!It’s okay if you don’t remember, but once you recall, Sae’s high school life is so boring...

……

Just when Tomo had just recovered a bit of synchronization rate, Mariko-senpai and Mi Jiang had completely turned the hot pot party into an accusation meeting of "Harassment of Yuko Oshima, Sakura's No. It was コリン's girlfriend at the time as the setting, plus Ah-chan and Sae-chan, two audiences who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, sometimes complaining and sometimes applauding, the whole situation has gone to a direction that Tomo can't meet at all.

……

——It was a real kiss on the lips~!

Mariko-senpai signaled to Ogura-san, generally pointing to Yuko's thin lips, and then pointing to A-chan in her arms, her tone seemed to turn from declarative to fanciful: After Chu finished, put Takamina away It fell to the ground and rolled back and forth dozens of times~!

Ogura-san smiled and nodded, as if listening to other people's glorious deeds.

--not only that.Mi-chan hugged Sae-chan's shoulder imitatively: This kid's girlfriend was also brutally hit in the chest by that uncle!And it's still when you're not familiar with it at all!

——Well,... I don’t know why, when Sae-chan hears Mi-chan and the others mentioning her girlfriend, she always ponders subtly for a while, but it seems that she can’t help being silent because of the ongoing theme, so she cheers up and follows Then everyone attacked コリン: ... Mayu-chan too!She was just a super cute girl at first, but because of this guy, she turned into a CG who talks about "butt" all day long!

Xiao Cang-san nodded and smiled, no, the smile is even happier now than before.

Sae & Minegishi & Shinoda: Having said so much, won't Saki be jealous?

【Oh~ Tomo's comprehension has finally caught up with everyone Chiyuu~! 】

……

--Why?I won't be jealous, why should I be jealous?

Mariko-senpai and the others desperately recalled the history as long as a century ago, as if in order to fulfill their obligations after bearing the name of "harmful friend", but Korin who should have reacted according to common sense The current girlfriend, Ogura-san, is like listening to a joke from a comedian from the beginning to the end. After laughing, I don’t go into it anymore. Even when I heard the part where Korin and Mayu-chan were playing "butt sumo wrestling" Sometimes he put his arms around Korin's shoulder and shouted "Cute~! Yuko is super cute~!"

Even as a mature adult, such a reaction would be too peaceful at night.

In contrast, the reaction of someone facing Korin and Ogura-san across the table may be more suitable for the identity of "girlfriend".

--enough.

Hey?

When everyone followed the shouting sound and looked over, Kojima-senpai had already supported the table with one hand, stood up from the cute pink cushion, slightly lowered her head, and let her long hair cover her expression, which is very similar to the posture in the comics. At the critical moment, the passionate heroine finally couldn't bear the evil side, and finally decided to fight with her dignity.

——こ, こじぱ?

——It's the same for Xiaoyou, enough is enough, it's better to listen to the voice now.

Holding the hand that trembled slightly with the body by his side, Tomo didn't know how long Kojima-senpai had endured to such an extent.

Mi-chan, Ah-chan, and Sae-chan obediently followed Korin and stopped talking for a while. Mariko-senpai seemed to want to follow Korin to ask questions, but after seeing Kojima-senpai's face, she finally just raised her voice. Thinking about patronizing Jieduan just now, in fact, I haven't even had a few sips of the wine glass.

The originally noisy living room suddenly became quiet as if no one was there, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The only thing that can be distinguished is her breathing that was always weak, but now it is short and unsteady.

——Kojima-san, did I offend you in any way?

At this moment, he can use the voice as if nothing happened to directly ask questions to the other party. Tomo doesn't know whether to admire this brave and calm Ogura-san, or to look forward to the impression that he has never met, Kojima Haruna-senpai Angry and cute.

It's almost unbelievable to say. Although Tomo and Kojima-senpai have been in the same school for two years, and Korin is a very close person to both of us, but in those two years, Tomo has never even seen Kojima-senpai talking in front of people .

When Tomo sees her, Korin is always by her side, coaxing her to be happy, making her laugh, and talking loudly is always Korin, although occasionally she can be heard jokingly venomous or spitting at Korin, but like Not only has Tomo never seen this kind of Kojima-senpai who is almost "slapping the case", Tomo even suspects that it is the first time seeing Korin as well.

——Miss Mariko and the others are just joking with me, but just this, Kojima-san, did I offend you in any way?Ogura-san crossed his fingers on his abdomen, and he didn't know if the expression on his face was really dazed: Kojima-san, do you have any dissatisfaction with me?

——Compared to dissatisfaction with Ogura-san, Hina is more curious about whether Ogura-san really likes Yuu.Kojima-senpai raised her head and looked into the eyes of Ogura-san who had stood up automatically when she spoke just now: Did Ogura-san really like Xiaoyu, that's why he dated Xiaoyu?If it's true, then hearing what Mari-chan and the others said just now, what kind of mood did you have when you dated Xiaoyou?

……

Ogura Saki thought for a while, and her speaking speed became very slow: Although there is nothing wrong with liking Yuko very much, what did Miss Mariko and the others say just now have anything to do with my liking for Yuko?

——Okura-san was joking with Hina, right?If you really like Xiaoyou, how can you be so unresponsive when you hear those words?Just now, Ogura-san listened to Xiaoyou's relationship with Hexi-san in high school with the attitude of listening to a joke, right?

Kojima-senpai paused for less than half a second, as if she was trying to hold back the great pain that was about to break the embankment: If you only hear those sweet things and are still unmoved, maybe Hina should still admire you for having an adult. tolerance and courage.So, how did Xiaoyou and Hexi-san break up? Does Xiaocang-san not care at all?Just laughing and listening to Xiaoyou's past as a child's funny story, have you considered Xiaoyou's feelings?Do you know Xiaoyou's pain when Kasai-san followed others to Osaka?

【……Why?Follow, follow others and run to Osaka! ?Have you misunderstood to this extent? 】

——So, if you could understand other people's feelings, would you still react like you do now?

Kojima-senpai stared hard at Saki Ogura who couldn't find anything to refute for a while, maybe because she was too hard, a thin layer of mist had formed in her beautiful big eyes, and then she used Those eyes full of deep pity looked at us who were still sitting: Obviously, when we were at the seaside, Yangcai finally made Xiaoyou lose this bad memory... After all, why did I bring this up again today? thing?

……

——こ, こじぱ...

——It’s so noisy!Obviously I told you to shut up, can't you hear me?

——It’s not like that, こじぱ, about the incident at the beach, and my relationship with Tomomi...

——Hina doesn't want to hear about your relationship with your Tomomi!Kojima-senpai showed a very aggrieved expression, because the person she was talking to was Yuko, so she almost wanted to cover her ears like a little girl: What did you have to say, what happened to the kiss with A-chan thing?When did you and Mochi bite each other's ears?Didn't you go to the health room that day because you felt unwell?You don't let Yangcai go with you, is it because you are afraid that it will hinder you?

——No, no, no, that’s not the case!

——Hina is going back, so be it.

- Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!That's not the case, こじぱ! ! ! ! !

……

It must have been really suppressing these words for too long, subconsciously wanted to leave a long time ago, so I had already planned the route and steps to rush out.After Kojima-senpai stood up and unexpectedly loudly questioned Ogura-san's love for Korin, she was almost at the level of an Olympic athlete, and within a few minutes quickly took her bag and rushed out with a puffy face. In front of the entrance of Korin's house, he still didn't forget to throw the light gray home skirt on Korin's face without any mistakes.

——こじぱ——! ! !

No matter how versatile the motor nerves are, it is too late here. On the contrary, Korin, who has been following Kojima-senpai to the entrance like a balloon chasing her, is yelling and can immediately hug Kojima who is about to leave the gate. When she was a senior student, someone grabbed her arm from behind dramatically.
