    ……

    Leisurely campus life, it’s time for another Discovery Club club activity, Aoi Natsuki is delayed by something and ends up opening the classroom door stuck to the class bell.

    “Sorry I’m late.”

    He gazed over to the square table in the center of the classroom, where no one ……

    When the line of sight turned, they saw Sakurajima, Hayakawa, and Takahashi lined up in a horizontal line, sitting in the corner fifty centimeters in front of a brand-new large vertical air conditioner, the cool breeze poured down along the vents, blowing on the faces of the three, and at once the three of them squinted their eyes, their faces overflowing with a look of enjoyment.

    Aoi Natsuki also felt that the room temperature inside the classroom was significantly lower than the outside world, just jogging over, his body still felt a little hot, now the wind blew, immediately cooled a lot.

    “What’s with this air conditioner? Did the school administration specially specialize in giving it to our club?”

    It was then that the three heard Natsuki Aoi’s voice from behind and turned back in unison.

    “Whoa! Aoi, you’re here.” Sakurajima’s face was visibly happy to see him and waved at him.

    Aoi Natsuki walked up and came closer before suddenly noticing Hayakawa’s hair on the side, the center of her bangs blowing directly into a center parting due to being blown by the air conditioning winds in close proximity, which she herself didn’t seem to notice.

    “Hayakawa, your bangs ……” He pointed to his own bangs and gave her a heads up.

    Hayakawa mumbled at that and turned his head to look at Sakurajima beside him.

    “Center point.” Sakurajima repeated Aoi’s action and spoke very directly.

    “Eh!” Hayakawa was instantly shocked and snapped her head down, running her hands through her bangs over and over again, it was so bad to meet Natsuki at school after the weekend and have a center parting for the first time, this, this was too bad.

    Seeing how flustered she was, Aoi Natsuki hurriedly covered up her embarrassment with a smile, “It’s okay, it’s okay, then again, what’s going on with this air conditioner?”

    “Oh, this air conditioner, my family moved it here, because my family just got a new air conditioner, so this old air conditioner, I asked someone to move it to the school.” Sakurajima Apricot said faintly.

    “Old air conditioner ……” Aoi Natsuki came forward, close look, obviously still very new said …… In addition to some dust on the side, the rest can be said to be a new air conditioner is not too much. This is the rich man’s freedom, really good ah, this kind of air conditioner, how to see how to be more than 150,000 yen it ……

    A little envious.

    “It’s almost summer vacation, so even if it’s an old air conditioner, it still feels like a luxury to move it to school.”

    “Yeah, it’s almost summer vacation, huh? I always feel like I’ve discussed what I’m going to do for summer vacation before? So strange, suddenly I can’t remember.” Takahashi Mito sat on a chair, her black silk-clad feet folded casually, her right hand cupping her chin as she thought hard.

    Aoi Natsuki forgot all about it as well, and turned her attention to the remaining two.

    Sakurajima Apricot had a mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth, it seemed like she remembered this incident, but looking at this smile, Aoi Natsuki always felt that nothing good had happened in the middle of it, what exactly was it? His memory slowly flipped back through the past one paragraph at a time.

    The pupils suddenly dilated for a split second, and there it was!

    He suddenly remembered what he had promised before, his heart suddenly began to become flustered, his urgent eyes subconsciously looked at Sakurajima, the two eyes met, as if Sakurajima was waiting for him to recall the moment, she slowly raised her slender and slender right index finger, her tone sullen, “Takahashi, you are really forgetful, go to Aoi’s old home to visit his grandfather such an important thing how able to forget it ……”

    She said it anyway ……

    Takahashi Mito joltedly remembered that a few people had previously discussed that they would go to Aoi’s old home to have some fun in the summer vacation, and to think that it was three months ago, Sakurajima remembers it really well.

    “Hara, so that wasn’t a joke?” Hayakawa covered his mouth with a surprised expression.

    “Well, of course it’s not a joke, that’s what Aoi promised us, don’t you think so? Aoi.” Sakurajima apricot folded her hands on her own left knee, her right index finger regularly tapping the beat, Aoi Natsuki’s face was a bit helpless, indeed, he promised this, but there was a discrepancy with what Sakurajima just said.

    “I only promised that I’d let you guys come to the country to play, I didn’t say it was to visit my grandfather, Sakurajima, so don’t confuse the concepts.”

    “Hmm? Shouldn’t you be staying at your house when you go to your hometown?”

    “Why did it suddenly turn into living in my house?” Aoi Natsuki’s eyes widened.

    “If you don’t live in your house, where else can you live, so let me ask you, Aoi, where is your old home?”

    “Gunma Prefecture, what’s going on?”

    “So how’s communications back home for you? Is basically every house equipped with a home phone?”

    This question …… Aoi Natsuki look at her look is really asking herself questions, rather than digressing, had to continue to answer, “My old home can not have a home phone, maybe in the village head that will have it?”

    “Yeah, Hayakawa and Takahashi should have remembered before about Grandpa Aoi sending over a big bag of potatoes from the countryside, right?” Sakurajima Apricot looked around at the two.

    “Well, there is.” Hayakawa and Takahashi answered one after another.

    “Then the way to notify Aoi should all be remembered, right? Text messages, but I guess it’s pretty hard for Aoi’s grandfather to understand the usage of a cell phone at his age, isn’t it? And who sent that text message? It’s very likely that your grandfather found someone in the village and had the other person send you a text message, and in order to find your cell phone number, he also rummaged through the box and kept searching and searching and searching for that address book that he didn’t know where he put it ……”

    Aoi Natsuki’s entire back chilled as she listened to what Sakurajima said, yes, she was right about all of it, Grandpa had asked someone else to send him a text message in the first place, and Grandpa himself was completely clueless as to the purpose of a cell phone, this guy’s powers of observation were too scary to be true.

    “Am I right? Aoi.” Sakurajima Apricot asked with a calm face.

    Aoi Natsuki could only truthfully nod her head in acknowledgement, and the two girls next to her similarly showed a look of surprise.

    “Awesome ……”

    “But what does that have to do with you wanting to stay at my house? Don’t try to digress!” Aoi Natsuki suddenly realized the blind spot and immediately retorted.

    However, Sakurajima apricot’s expression is not the slightest bit flustered, on the contrary, she shrugged her shoulders and skimmed her mouth at him, saying: “Stupid ah you, you unfolded the association and you will know, a village with communication problems, there is inevitably no commercialized bed and breakfasts, and the area where the good-looking bed and breakfasts are located is not the real countryside, and then in turn, the real countryside, there is no rentable bed and breakfasts. The real countryside, there is no such thing as a rentable bed and breakfast, so when the three of us really get to your hometown, you won’t let us stay in someone else’s house, right? What if it’s dangerous? Don’t you think so? Aoi.”

    Sakurajima said to the end of the tone suddenly switched to pampering mode, a did not pay attention to use the little thumb gently hooked Aoi Natsuki’s right hand’s little thumb, just a second of contact, Aoi Natsuki immediately pull back his hand, eyes fascinated up, how this guy does not move to want to touch themselves a little? And always pretending to be pampered!

    Thinking about it though, she made a lot of sense, at least the other two girls nodded softly as they listened in realization.

    Aoi Natsuki was speechless, looking at the girl in front of him who was squinting and smiling at him, he pursed his lips and finally skimmed his eyes, “We’ll talk about it when the time comes ……”

    “Too good! Aoi said yes!”

    Sakurajima raised his right hand high in the air and fake cheered while his eyes kept looking at him with a smirk.

    Take it, the genus is taken to death.

    In the face of such a girl, Aoi Natsuki felt that he was still far from enough, perhaps he should have more galgame games in the near future, this kind of smart and eccentric character of the girl exactly how to restrain, this point needs to be studied.

    ……

    Wednesday nights at 6pm.

    Hetty was getting ready to pack up her things and go home, having just come off a variety show, her face coated in flour from doing the game, and using a wet wipe to keep wiping her cheeks on one side while she gathered up her things on the table with the other hand.

    At this time, the agent walked in from outside the dressing room and said in a very fast voice, “Nanjang, I’m sorry, there’s some scheduling problems, in fact, there’s still a need for you to catch up with another program later on, it’s an exclusive interview, which was scheduled for last week.”

    Hetty froze, then turned her head, “I was just getting ready to go home eh.”

    “I’m really sorry!” The manager folded his arms and said, “As you know lately the annual general election is approaching and your popularity is on a hot streak, you’ll be a bit busier than usual, so hang in there for a bit longer, okay?”

    “……” Hetty didn’t answer directly.

    The agent could also see her emotions, but she still whispered, “Namjae, just add more fuel to the fire, you want to pay off your father’s debt quickly too, right? When this time passes, everything will be fine, huh?”

    The agent bent down, his posture lowered.

    Hetty also knew in her heart that the agent was doing it for her good from the bottom of her heart, and her heart, which had just been a little fidgety, then calmed down and nodded in agreement, which made the agent breathe a sigh of relief as well, and turned her head and walked out the door, calling for the driver to stop and pick up the person at the back door.

    Standing in the dressing room, Hetty lapsed into silence, and after a while had passed, made up her mind and rummaged through her bag to find her cell phone, after which she made a call to Arai ……

    ……

    “Oh, so, no problem, does Nia know about this?”

    “Well, I’ll call her in a few minutes and tell her.”

    “Okay, then just tell her to come downstairs in ten minutes and I’ll pick her up.”

    “Okay, thank you then.”

    “It’s okay, help each other out, as it should be.”

    “Hmph, that’s what I love to hear, so I’m going to go on and get busy, that’s all for now, bye.”

    Hetty’s side hung up the phone, Aoi Natsuki crossed her arms, her gaze to the kitchen where the rice is cooking, fortunately considering tomorrow morning’s bento, burn some more intending to wrap nori wrapped in rice, that rice is enough, the vegetables, I remember there is still a little bit of beef in the refrigerator, how about making roast beef?

    Thinking about it, she told Lina about it in passing, Lina immediately jumped up from the couch after hearing it, ever since she met with Nia a week ago, she had been thinking about this girl her age, mainly because of Natsuki’s line about taking care of her sister, and now whenever she thought of Nia, she felt like she was her sister.

    “Awwwwwww!”

    Then he went out with Lina and headed to the neighborhood where Hetty was, following the original memory, he followed the turns east and west, and finally came to the familiar floor below, when Nia had just come out of the doorway holding Plath, and when she saw the two of them, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

    Lina did the same, if not more so, and rushed right up to Nia for a hug and a little face-palm.

    Silver hair …… so pretty ……

    “Pras~” Aoi Natsuki went up to the dog and smiled, stroking his head, and Pras looked like she was totally getting along with him, spitting out her tongue and rubbing herself into his arms constantly.

    Taking the two men and a dog home, Pras went to play with Jijang, while Lina and Nia sat on the carpet next to the coffee table, just like before, and Natsuki Aoi opened a can of canned fruit for the two children to share.

    He then took the beef out of the fridge and began to grill the beef, which had been marinated before, and Lina loved it, so he froze more, frying the steaks in the pan while his eyes kept an eye on Nia, who was in the living room watching TV, through the glass.

    Hmmm ……

    With her sister being a big celebrity, she should spend very little time at home, and Nia should be lonely at home by herself, right? The younger you are, the more you need to have a family to be with, and she’s eight now, so she should be in second grade …… school by all accounts? Huh? Right, Nia has moved to this neighborhood with Hetty, so would it be too much of a hassle to go back to the previous elementary school? It’s dangerous for a girl this young to ride the bus all day by herself ……

    Aoi Natsuki had been thinking about it for about twenty minutes because of this, until dinner was served and the two children were called over to eat, and at the table, Nia was still eating slowly, but it was still hard to hide the surprise that her face showed for the delicious roast beef.

    “Yummy ……” came the breathy voice again.

    Aoi Natsuki finally couldn’t help herself, but asked out, “Nia, are you, now, still going to your previous school?”

    “……” Nia said in her trademark daze, shaking her head after two seconds had passed, “It’s not there anymore, my sister said she was helping me get another elementary school when we move.”

    So it is.

    Aoi Natsuki nodded, but if it’s a change of elementary school, then Lina’s current elementary school isn’t good, Takahashi was the one who arranged it for himself before, it’s really helpful, maybe we can discuss this with Hetty.

    He was thinking about it, but he didn’t realize that Lina had reacted before her, putting up her writing pad and taking Nia’s small hand in a series of reminders.

    Lina’s meaning was roughly the same as his, and as soon as Nia looked at Lina asking her if she wanted to join the elementary school she was in, she immediately let out a gasp of surprise with her mouth slightly open, she hadn’t been expecting this practice at all.

    “Awwwwwww!” Rina, who thought Natsuki wasn’t expecting it, raised her writing pad with both hands high and kept shaking it to try to get Natsuki’s attention.

    “Okay, okay, I see it, put it down.”

    Lena dutifully put down her writing pad.

    Aoi Natsuki looked at Nia and smiled, “The elementary school that Lina is currently in is quite good, I can ask my friend to ask around, that elementary school has a special cart for transportation, and it can also go straight to your neighborhood, so that your sister can be more at ease as well.”

    “Oooh ……,” Nia continued to look surprised, gripping her chopsticks for a moment in a dorky way that was particularly cute.

    After another five or six seconds had passed, her eyes rolled in a circle, after which she moved her buttocks, letting her buttocks lean as close as possible to brother Natsuki, reached out her left hand, gently tugged at his sleeve, gazed straight at him, and slowly asked, “That, that …… next time, will there be a chance to come back again? “

    “Hmm! There’s definitely a chance, or rather, come and play more often oh Nia.” Aoi Natsuki reached out and rubbed Nia’s little head, a warm smile on her face, while Nia, who saw this scene, lowered her eyes and nodded sluggishly after a while of work.
