After looking at the ingredients bought by Soya and Kyoko, Junko Imamura flipped through the bag and picked up the shopping receipt and took a look.
"Wow, this guy is too willing to let it go... Kana, this is Oemi Bull."
Kana Torito lay on the picnic mat, turned over when he heard this, and changed his hand to support his head.
"Zonggu never saves money when eating. Anyway, the club has so much budget... If he doesn't ask me for reimbursement, I will think he paid for it myself."
"Does he know he can be reimbursed?"
"Who knows."
Imamura picked up the boxes of Omi beef with tight packaging and looked at it, put it back in place, and then lay down on the picnic mat.
The sun rising to mid-air appears and disappears among the gradually thicker clouds, and a roundness lit up in the hazy dark fog.
"Why did Ganai stay?"
"Where is Junko?"
“I don’t want to be a light bulb.”
"Are Soya and Sugawara classmate dating?"
"Songya said no."
"Then there isn't."
Compared to the relationship between the two who had already walked away, Kana Torito cared more about the sky in front of him.
"I said, Junko..."
"what?"
"Take the wood and the stove under the tabernacle."
......
Wow—Wow—
The lake water hit the shore, rolling up white waves, washing the beach back and forth.
The lake in the distance was blue and terrifyingly quiet. If it weren't for the sight of the mountains looming across the street, Zong Gu would have thought he had come to the beach.
"It's going to change."
The dark clouds above my head were so low that they wanted to kiss the lake surface. The continuous storm of the lake was much more violent than before.
He looked to the side, and Kyoko raised her hand and pressed her long hair, tilting her head slightly.
"What?"
Sonoya raised his voice, "It's probably going to rain."
She nodded, the weather changes were obvious.
"Go back."
"good."
After leaving the campsite, the two walked along the lake shore for a long time, but never looked back. They had to walk for a while if they wanted to go back.
"If it rains, the camp will be messy." Kyoko said.
Zong Gu nodded, "Fortunately, the tent and the curtains are all rainproof. However, if the wind keeps blowing, he can only hide in the tent temporarily."
“It should be just a shower.”
"Hope so."
Taking care of Kyoko's speed, Soya kept walking unfast. But as her pace became slower and slower, he realized something.
"What's wrong?"
“…”
She looked down at her shoes, feeling helpless when she raised her eyes.
“The shoes don’t fit very well.”
The light green skirt was slightly blown up by the lake wind, revealing the white single shoes underneath, making them brand new and beautiful.
Sonoya walked back, "Do you buy new shoes?"
"Um……"
Kyoko grabbed her skirt and looked down at her fair back, the pain hiding in an invisible place.
“It’s normal when you go out.”
“I’ve walked too many roads today.”
Zong Gu looked at her feet and raised his eyes and said, "Does it hurt?"
"Um……"
It is obvious that she can admit the pain, which is no longer just "not fitting well".
"I'll carry Kyoko back."
“…”
Kyoko was stunned and shook her head.
"No. No."
Zong Gu looked at the sky, "Then let's get wet in the rain together."
“…”
She suddenly fell silent.
After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, she raised her hand and held his shoulder.
Zong Gu was about to turn around, but she spoke, "No."
Holding his shoulders just to support his body, Kyoko lifted one foot and took off her shoes.
“…”
Change one foot, repeat the movement, and take the other shoe off into your hand.
She nodded to Zonggu, "Let's go."
“…”
This is the first time that Zong Gu has been rejected for this.
"Go up."
He turned around and walked towards the shore, Kyoko was holding her shoes in her hand, looking at the ground, and following carefully.
She quietly breathed a sigh of relief until she stepped onto the relatively soft grass and fell on her heels.
I bought shoes that don’t fit, and so did the long skirts on my body.
["Ha? Kyoko is planning to wear uniforms tomorrow to date Soya?"
“No…it’s outdoor cooking.”
"It's not suitable whether it's a date or not. I know Kyoko doesn't want to attract attention, but wearing a uniform during the holidays is even more concerned, right? If Kyoko still has common sense, she shouldn't say it, then I'll wear a witch girl
Take it'."
“…”
"Forget it... Call Emi, let's go to Kahara-cho."]
Her outfit was chosen by her for rushing to Kyoto last night, and Noma Minami and Toyosaki Emi. It was a private server that had never appeared on her and was "suitable for dates" when she was a private server.
It was a bit difficult to just make her adapt to this gentle style.
Her expression was still stiff and her heels were so painful that she felt unbearable. Her body seemed to be resisting with all her strength.
But - she looked at Sonoya walking in front - he said that the outfit was cute.
She thought that the description of "cute" would never appear on her. But once it appeared, she fell without resistance;
If her feet weren't really hurting, she would have been wearing these shoes and wouldn't stop.
“…”
With one shoe on each of his left and right hands, Kyoko breathed softly, followed behind Soya, stepping on his almost invisible footprints.
Her fair feet alternately poked out of her skirt and stepped on the shore of the spring lake with green grass.
She lowered her eyes, and a clear touch came from the soles of her feet.
The grass leaves and rhizomes gently scratch the delicate skin of the feet, which is soft and tough; the small ground under the feet has many ups and downs, not completely flat.
The lake is filled with waves, echoing in my ears, and the wet lake wind is one after another...
Hit someone.
“…”
Looking at Kyoko whose ears turned red quickly, Soya didn't expect her to bump into her like this.
Seeing something, he turned around just now, but what he saw was the scene of her lowering her head, her toes and heels alternately.
——Holding a shoe on each of her hands, she swayed slightly in the lake breeze, and her moving body was always in a straight line.
A pair of barefoots kept rising and falling, and she seemed to be happy.
Then it hit.
The color on her face became brighter and brighter. Zong Gu wanted to say something, but he just spoke and laughed.
“…”
Kyoko was even more ashamed and wanted to jump into the lake next to her.
And when she turned her head, she saw the torrential rain slowly pushing from the lake.
Zong Gu also looked over there, this was the reason why he stopped just now.
"I can't escape."
"……Um."
In the blink of an eye, heavy rain came across the lake and swallowed the two of them.
......
Sitting into a jar of hot water, Zong Gu pulled his hair and breathed a sigh of relief.
The frosted glass window is hazy and the sound of rain continues.
In the room on the other side, Kyoko, who had just left the bath, sat on the tatami and looked at the lake in the distance.
This is a hotel near the campsite.
The lake shore was empty, and the two of them suffered heavy rain, but they had nowhere to hide, so they were soon wet. When they returned to the camp, they came here with the reminder of the city.
After opening a room, the B&B and the hotel had a small passenger flow, with only one bathroom. The two took turns to take a shower and threw the changed clothes to the washing machine for processing.
“…”
Looking at the sky, Kyoko breathed a long sigh;
She lowered her head and rubbed her heels again.
The new shoes that didn't fit their feet left a red and swollen behind their feet. The only thing that is thankful is that they have not worn out. After cleaning, the stains left by walking barefoot have also washed away with the water flow.
After resting for so long, she should be able to hold on for a while when she goes back, she thought.
After sitting in the room for a while, Zong Gu's voice rang out with the knock on the door.
"Kyoko."
She withdrew her gaze and said, "Come in."
He then opened the sliding door and walked into the room.
“The rain hasn’t stopped yet.”
"Um."
After taking a shower, he wore the same bathrobe as her. Both of them were still rolling in the washing machine. After washing and drying, the hostess of the hotel would send it over.
And now, they can only wait.
Soya walked to the window and sat down in front of Kyoko.
"How is it?" he motioned for her feet.
"It's just a little red and swollen, nothing serious."
Kyoko said, stretching her right foot towards him. She turned and felt that it was inappropriate, but she was held by him before she could take it back.
The feet have delicate skin, slightly cool and smooth as grease.
"Other foot."
“…”
She pursed her lips, moved her left foot and slowly reached over.
