After sending Kyoko home, Noma Nan turned to send Yoshikawa back first. She had something to talk to Soya.
"After that, what street does Yoshikawa's home come from? I forgot."
"Teacher, don't take me home. I'll get off the bus with Zong Gu."
Yoshikawa said in a word, asking the two people in the front seat to look back at her at the same time.
"are you sure?"
Of course, Noma Nan, who was driving, immediately moved back, "It's already very late now."
"It's okay, I'm going to visit Akane. She was like Soya and got drunk last night."
"Do you Kirino...I understand."
Noma Nan said nothing more, and took the accelerator and soared on the streets where there was no one in the night.
More than ten minutes later, she stopped the car at the intersection near the old house of Tongye and put the two of them down.
Yoshikawa bent down slightly and said goodbye to her.
"Teacher, please be careful on the way."
Noma Nan smiled and looked at Soya again.
"Good night."
Watching the taillights of the coupe disappear at the end of the alley, Zong Gu was about to say something when a drop of rain fell from the sky and fell on his arm.
"It's raining." Yoshikawa also looked up at the sky.
"Go back."
Sono turned around and walked towards the old house, "Is Kirino still here at this time?"
"Yes." Yoshikawa followed, "Akane said she would be resting here tonight."
"Yeah."
The two walked for a short distance in silence.
"I said, Sonoya..."
"Um."
Yoshikawa looked at him, "Senior Sugawara...has she been in some trouble?"
"Although it looks similar to usual, and they all look taciturn and indifferent, I always feel that it is different from the usual indifference... It should be said that I am not energetic?"
As street lights shine, falling raindrops become denser, and Zonggu speeds up.
"It turns out that Yoshikawa also felt that Kyoko had a little argument with her parents."
“Hey…why?”
"This is also the part I want to know, but she didn't tell me."
Soya walked fast, Yoshikawa trotted to keep up with him, "Would it be something inconvenient to tell outsiders about family matters?"
"Maybe, there is this possibility."
"I think Soya and Noma both care about it...ah!"
She only looked at him, and suddenly she tripped under her feet, and she fell forward.
Zong Gu immediately reached out and grabbed her.
"Thanks……"
Yoshikawa was still in shock. He looked up at him, but found that his eyes were full of fatigue.
"Don't scare me - I've also been hangover all night, and I woke up at noon and haven't closed my eyes yet."
"Feel sorry……"
Zong Gu didn't let go, and just pulled her forward, slowing down a lot.
"Take care about yourself first, and then care about others."
“…”
Yoshikawa opened his mouth, and was a little aggrieved in surprise.
"Don't care." Sonoya looked back at her, "I'm reminding myself."
"……Yeah."
He was running around and he was limited in energy. Even if he couldn't let go of Kyoko, he could only stop here today - not to mention that he had tried several times, but he just couldn't make her open.
The rain is getting faster and the old house in Tongye is right in front of it.
Seeing the lights inside, Zong Gu's body and mind unconsciously relaxed.
"Yoshikawa might as well rest here today."
“Hey…”
"When you and Kirino finished making trouble, I will be sleepy and have no strength to send you home. Or I will send you back now."
"Akane is waiting for me...and I can go home by myself, it's very close anyway."
The two walked into the yard.
"I'm not relieved."
“…”
Yoshikawa raised his eyes and he just looked in front, half of his face reflected in the light.
She walked up and walked side by side with him.
"Oh well."
......
When Noma Nan put the two of them down at the intersection, it was almost eleven o'clock in the night.
When he returned to his old house and came out to greet him, Akane Kirino was full of energy and like a nocturnal animal.
After all, I slept for nearly a day and a night.
Walking into the entrance, Zong Gu took off his shoes while yawning. He envied Yu Yun for her casual absence, and was worried that her excess energy would also get involved in it. The yawning was very loud.
"Hey, is Soya very sleepy?"
"Yes. I ran around for a whole afternoon, and on the way back, I was pestered and chatted by Teacher Noma again, and I didn't have time to rest."
"It's so hard."
Akane Kirino probably never went out after waking up. She was wearing cartoon-style pajamas and her long hair was casually draped behind her shoulders.
"However, just play a few rounds of 'truth' to draw ghost cards, and Zong Gu will be energetic. The playing cards are ready~"
“…”
Soya was scared now, "Tungye, I really already..."
She smiled slightly, "Just kidding."
"……That's good."
"The hot water and the changing clothes are all ready. Sogo will take a shower first."
He was a little stunned, "Thank you... Kirino is so considerate."
"It was my mother who asked me to prepare in advance."
It's true...
It’s just that Kirino Keiko has good intentions and has forgotten to tell her daughter that she doesn’t have to tell her about it.
After taking two steps, Zong Gu turned around.
"By the way, Yoshikawa will rest here tonight."
Akane Kirino blinked, "Really?"
Yoshikawa looked back and forth at the two of them, "If it's convenient."
"But there are no spare rooms in my house..."
Halfway through Akane Kirino, Soya had turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
"…Hongzi will sleep in Zonggu's room tonight... Zonggu!"
She had no choice but to do anything if he didn't cooperate, but she understood that he was probably really tired, so she didn't continue to tease him.
"There are many empty rooms, Hongzi should just sleep with me."
"good."
Akane Kirino pulled Yoshikawa to the living room, "Does Hongko feel sleepy now?"
"Fortunately. I slept for more than an hour on the way back."
"Then I will make the bed later. I was awakened by my mother today until the sun was about to set. I don't want to sleep at all now."
"How much wine did Akane drink..."
Kirino Keiko was still taking care of business in Izakaya and would not come tonight, but Asakiri had already returned to the room upstairs early, with only the two of them in the living room.
"I don't remember." Akane Kirino thought for a while, "It looks like seven or eight cups."
“Hey…”
Yoshikawa was stunned, "Is Akane's alcohol content so good? I heard from Soya that he only drank two glasses before pouring it."
She immediately laughed.
"Mom said that it was the first time that Zong Gu drank, and he drank too quickly, so he got drunk so quickly... But the taste of Qingmei wine is really good, sweet and has a good taste."
"Yeah……"
Yoshikawa murmured, "I want to try it too."
Akane Kirino's eyes lit up, "Really?"
“…It shouldn’t be OK to drink just a little, right?”
"Yeah. It doesn't matter if I'm here."
She stood up as soon as she sat down, "Wait a minute, I'll pour a cup for Hongzi to taste."
Yoshikawa suddenly became a little nervous. She was also a good boy who had basically never drunk alcohol and had a worrying amount of alcohol.
"Wait, Akane...a cup is too much."
"I know--"
Before he finished speaking, Akane Kirino had left the living room.
Not long after, she returned here with an empty glass cup and looked around.
"The green plum wine in the utility room is gone..."
“Eh?”
After Soya came out after taking a shower, Akane Kirino was still searching everywhere, and the scope had expanded to the entire room.
He sat down in the living room with his hair wiped his hair, glanced at the familiar glass on the table, and asked casually:
"What are Kirino looking for?"
Yoshikawa looked at him, "Green Plum Wine."
“…”
He dropped the towel and stood up and left the living room.
Half a minute later, he came back with Akane Kirino.
"It doesn't matter if you just drink a little..."
"No, it's a big deal."
"A little bit……"
"Not a drop can do it."
Akane Kirino curled her lips, and when she saw that he insisted, she still compromised.
Looking at Zong Gu who continued to wipe his hair, she asked again: "Did Zong Gu hide the wine?"
"Where do I have time?"
"That's what my mother hides."
"I guess so."
“Where did you hide?”
"you guess."
After drying his hair and sitting in the living room for a while, Zong Gu felt sleepy again and wanted to go to rest.
Before leaving, he turned around and said:
"Kuno will ask Yoshikawa tonight."
“Eh?”
Yoshikawa was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand what he meant at this time, "Please give it to me..."
"Good night."
"Good night……"
After saying hello to Chao Wuling who was standing at the door, Zong Gu returned to the room and paused slightly.
"Have you even covered the quilt?"
It's already late at night.
Zong Gu got into bed and fell asleep soon.
When he was ignorant, Akane Kirino and Yoshikawa walked past the door and entered the next room.
The two of them were spread together, Yoshikawa was already lying down, while Akane Kirino held her head, still in high spirits.
"Hey, I've also taken a hot spring... It's so good."
"Well, Ai, we'll go back tomorrow morning..."
"—And what? Have you met a bear?"
"……No."
"Where is the wild boar?"
“No…”
"What a pity...ah, no, it will be troublesome if you really meet it, hehe... By the way, I heard that someone had seen wild wolves in the mountains in Xinjin, but the book also said that the Japanese wolf is together.
It was extinct a hundred years ago..."
It was early in the morning, and the energetic Akane Kirino was still sharing the stories of outdoor adventures she had read in magazines;
Yoshikawa, who kept falling asleep and waking up, was confused, suddenly understood the meaning of the words Soya's words.
