Although he had to stay at Kirino's old house that night, Yoshikawa still went back to his home first to pick up some necessary things.
Finding the pajamas she wanted to wear tonight, she struggled in front of the closet again.
"What should I wear tomorrow..."
Dresses, hot pants, T-shirts, tank tops... He spread out various combinations of clothes on the bed, and Yoshikawa picked them up one by one and compared them in front of the mirror.
"Would it be too hot to wear this dress... But it just shows off your temperament. Hmm, it seems like it would be better to match it with a hat... The color of this T-shirt is too dark, and it doesn't match well with the lower body."
She tried for a long time but couldn't make a decision until her mother's call came from below.
"Anko--Sotani-kun is here to find you."
"Hey, Soya? Why..."
Yoshikawa was a little surprised and hurriedly walked out of the room and saw Soya at the bottom of the stairs.
Not only him, Akane Kirino also came together.
"It's been more than half an hour, and you still haven't decided what to wear tomorrow."
Soya squatted on the ground, stroking the shaking Shiba Inu Alpine, and looked up at her.
"...How do you know?" Yoshikawa went downstairs.
He stood up, and Alpine circled him twice more, wagging his tail, seeking more strokes, "because it's like this every time."
"That's what girls are like...right, Akane."
Akane Kirino chuckled, "That's right."
"Why are you here?"
"It's still early, Kirino said he wanted to take a walk with the dog after a long time." Soya looked at her, "What do you think, we'll decide when we get back."
Yoshikawa nodded, "Okay."
"Alps, let's go."
Kirino Akane led the Shiba Inu in front, and the three of them left the Yoshikawa house together.
The weather is very good, there are sparse clouds around, and the sun hangs in the mid-air to the west, exuding a scorching temperature. It is only three or four o'clock, and it has not yet set.
"It's so hot..."
Yoshikawa looked at the sky and said, "Isn't it a little too early to walk the dog at this time?"
"Yeah...but I'm quite happy in the Alps." Soya raised his hands to his eyes to shield himself from the dazzling sunlight, "Kirino, let's go to a shady place."
"Uh-huh."
Turning into the alley, the heat suddenly eased a lot.
Yoshikawa: "The weather has been so good these past two days. It should be considered plum blossoms here in Kinki."
Sotani: "I remember that it takes a period of continuous sunny weather to count the plum blossoms. It lasted five or seven days...I saw it on the news."
Akane Kirino looked back at them, "It's five days."
"Really? It shouldn't rain in the next few days," Yoshikawa said.
"Hope not."
Soya raised his gaze, looked over the wall, and stared at the blue sky, "I have to go to Kyoto to participate in the Gion Festival in two days."
Yoshikawa looked at him as he walked, "If it weren't for the fact that 'Yoshifuru' is not allowed to visit, I would also like to go and see it with Soya."
He thought thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, what exactly is the 'lucky charm entering' on the first day of the festival?"
"I already said that visiting is not allowed, how would I know?"
"You don't know if you are the first in the grade?"
"..."
Avoid the scorching sun, walk along the familiar alley, and after turning a few corners, you will find Kirino's old house.
The three of them all felt that it was still early and it was too hot outside to walk the dog, so they simply went back to the house to sit and let Alpine have fun in the courtyard of Kirino's house.
"Ah, there is no air conditioning in the old house." Akane Kirino suddenly said.
Yoshikawa was stunned, "Hey, in this weather...don't you feel hot when you sleep at night?"
"Hot." Akane Kirino nodded, "When I went to bed last night, I took off all my clothes."
"..."
She glanced at Soya who was paying no attention and said, "Akane..."
"There are only a few electric fans here in the old house, but they were put away in autumn last year and need to be cleaned before they can be used." Akane Kirino continued.
He could no longer bear the high temperature after the weather cleared up.
There are three electric fans in the utility room. They are different from old to new. You need to disassemble the grille and then remove the blades for cleaning.
Taking the electric fan outside, Soya was responsible for dismantling it. Yoshikawa and Kirino Akane soaked the grille and blades in a basin filled with detergent, and used a brush to wash away the oil stains on them.
"Hongzi and I need a fan in our room, Soya also needs one in his room, and the remaining one is for Suzu..."
"——The bell is not needed."
"Yes, Ling's body has been very cold... Then give it to Yuezi."
The three electric fans were disassembled and cleaned separately. Taking advantage of the strong sun, Zonggu placed the cleaned grilles and blades in the yard to dry in the sun.
After resting for a while, the three of them found Alpine digging dirt in the backyard and continued walking the dog.
"Why don't you feel tired after the Alps..."
"I haven't taken it out for several days."
After making a large circle around the area, they returned to Kirino's old house.
Kirino Akane turned back and went home on the way, and would come back later. Alpine would be sent home by Yoshikawa, and he would pick up a change of clothes on the way.
The sun is about to set and dusk is approaching.
Soya sat next to Yuan and started assembling the blades and casing of the electric fan when he came back. Yoshikawa sat next to him and watched.
"If you don't go back, it will get dark."
"Well, I'll go back after Zonggu has installed this fan."
"After installing the fan, I have to start preparing dinner, but I don't have time to see you off."
She hummed softly and looked at the yellow and red sky. It would take at least a while before it would completely darken.
"I didn't ask you to give it away."
After tightening the screws that fixed the fan blades, Zonggu turned it with his hand and the blades rotated a few times. There was no problem.
After installing the grille cover, he picked up the fan and walked into the living room, found a socket to connect to the power supply, and the fan started spinning immediately.
The rotating blades sent out bursts of coolness. Sogu sat in front of the fan and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Come alive..."
As soon as it became dark, Yoshikawa also came over and sat down.
"It's so cool to be alive..." She echoed softly, her short hair beside her ears fluttering in the wind.
Zongya turned the electric fan a little towards her.
She smiled and said, "Thank you."
Seeing him getting up, Yoshikawa grabbed him again.
"What are you doing? There are still two units that haven't been assembled yet."
"I'm going back."
Zong Gu looked at her, "Didn't you just say you don't need me to send it?"
Yoshikawa glared at me, "I don't want you to give it to me!...Sogu, what do you think I should wear tomorrow?"
Answering this kind of question was more troublesome than sending her home, so Sogu just shook his head.
"Don't ask me, just do as you like."
"I asked Soya just because I couldn't decide."
"Then don't wear it."
"...obscene."
Zong Gu paused, "I mean, if you can't think of what to wear, just wear a uniform."
"Huh? Wearing a uniform on a day off? I don't want it."
"You are really troublesome."
Yoshikawa looked at him for a while and asked, "Which one do you like more, dress or tank top?"
"Camisole."
The corner of her mouth curved, "Dirty."
"That's what boys are like."
"snort."
She let go of him and stood up, "I'm going back first and will be here soon. Dinner will be waiting for me."
"It's still early for dinner."
"I still have to choose for a while."
Yoshikawa led Alpine and left, and Soya sat back down and continued assembling the remaining two electric fans.
After a while, Kirino Akane came back here first.
"Ah~~~"
Zong Gu looked back at the living room. She was sitting in front of the electric fan, opening her mouth to face the wind and making a strange trill.
"Zong Gu~ Mom~ asked me~ to bring some vegetables~ over here~~~"
"..."
“Put it in the kitchen~~~”
"……Um."
Before the sky turned completely dark, Yoshikawa also returned to Kirino's old house.
In addition to a change of clothes, she also carried some ingredients that Mrs. Yoshikawa asked her to bring.
"This is the dried tofu I bought from Nishiki Market in Kyoto... I gave it to Soya."
...
A night of silence.
The next day, a weekend morning, Soya woke up a little later than usual.
There was some noise in the corridor outside.
"Have you already gotten up at this time? It's so positive."
It was a nice day today, and it was bright outside the window. He lay there for a while while looking at the ceiling, and suddenly there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Sogu, are you awake?"
It's Yoshikawa.
"No."
"..."
The girl outside was silent for a moment, "I'm coming in."
Without waiting for a response, she opened the door and walked into the room.
Zonggu turned his back on the bed and lay on the bed.
The footsteps behind him got closer and closer, getting slower and slower, and finally stopped next to the quilt.
"How long do you plan to sleep in Sogu... You obviously said you wanted to get up early yesterday."
"At this time, the mall has not yet..."
He turned around, the remaining half of his words frozen in his throat.
She knelt and crawled next to the quilt, her body was low, and her black tank top hung naturally, revealing a large area of snow-white chest;
Staring at him closely, feeling his gaze involuntarily slipping into her tank top, her face was burning and her voice was trembling.
"Come on, it still takes time...get up quickly..."
"..."
Zonggu's eyes were straightened, and his Adam's apple slid up and down.
Too deliberate.
Early in the morning, her intention was too obvious, kneeling and crawling next to his pillow in this posture.
but……
Very effective.
Feeling the change, Zonggu turned back again, folding his legs and facing away from her.
"Yoshikawa goes out first, I will get up soon... Anyway, you go out first."
