Comet Strike

Had lunch.

Naoki was playing a game in the apartment when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Standing up to open the door, Nino stood aggressively outside the door.

"Did you come to play by yourself?"

Naoki looked behind Nino, the afternoon sun was quite nice, bright light filled the corridor, but sadly it was empty, only Nino was alone.

"Otherwise, who do you want?" Nino smiled. "Ichika or Miku?"

This is a bad comer!

Naoki opened the door quietly: "I hope Yotsuba and Itsuki."

Nino stepped into the entrance, put on her sandals, and went over to the couch and sat down.

"Wanna play a game together?" Naoki handed the joystick to Nino.

"Don't change the subject." Nino snorted angrily. "You know why I came here."

Naoki actually did that kind of thing without telling herself. If she accidentally discovered it today, how long would he have to hide it!

The promised bowl of water is level, and the water in Ichika and Miku's bowl is almost full!

"It seems you found it." Naoki put down the joystick, and said in a low tone, "It happened two weeks ago, Miku and I were feeding stray cats in the park, and we were bitten by a special spider..."

Nino tucked her left leg over her right, and groaned, "So you became Spider-Man?"

"Listen to me." Naoki continued without changing his face, "The spider won't make anyone Spider-Man, it will only make people sick."

"... What's that?"

Knowing that Naoki was talking nonsense, Nino couldn't help but be curious.

Naoki said firmly: "A disease that will explode if you don't [beep——]."

"Pooh!"

Nino spat softly, her face red.

"How could there be such a spider in the world, if it really existed, everyone would have done that."

Naoki looked surprised: "Nino got smarter?"

Nino snorted softly: "Kids know this kind of thing."

"All in all, the cause of everything is that little spider." Naoki continued, "After being poisoned, Miku ended up sacrificing herself to save me."

"What about Ichika?" Nino said lightly, "Did you get bitten by a spider again this time?"

"Not this time." Naoki said. "Ichika was bitten by a spider, and I will help her detoxify."

"Shameless!"

Nino couldn't take it anymore, and kicked.

Naoki grabbed Nino by the ankle and said with a serious expression: "Don't move, it's dangerous."

"What?"

"Just now a small spider crawled up to your feet and bit you, didn't you feel it?"

Seeing Naoki talking seriously, Nino couldn't help but hesitate.

Are there really strange spiders?

She did feel a pain in diw's calf just now...is that actually static electricity?

"You have been poisoned." Naoki sat next to Nino, with his right hand hugging Nino's soft and slender waist, and he looked at her badly, "You need someone to help detoxify now."

Nina immediately realized what Naoki wanted to do, her face turned red quickly, and she couldn't help but scream:

"I didn't come here to do that kind of thing, you gave me enough time!"

"Sorry, I can't stop anymore."

....

All in all, Naoki and Nino played games for half a day in the afternoon. Even though they weren't doing anything, they were very happy just playing together.

...

The next day.

Monday.

Naoki goes to school as usual, and as for Shuraba between his old father-in-law... it's not Fumino and Miku fighting each other, so he doesn't care one bit.

"Asakawa-san, good morning."

At the first crossroad leading to school, Rizu was waiting for him as usual.

"Morning."

Naoki turned his head to look at the udon shop. Mrs. Ogata looks surreptitiously looking out.

Uncle Ogata didn't come out with a knife, obviously his wife kept her word and didn't tell anything about school, this was really fun.

"Auntie, we are going to school."

Naoki waved at the udon shop and walked forward with Rizu.

At the second intersection, a Fumino wearing a white headband and long sky blue hair tied into a bun was waving at the crossing.

"What did uncle say?"

Naoki walked up to Fumino and asked curiously.

"Father is still angry." Fumino said annoyedly. "Aren't you the culprit?"

"Yeah, it's all my fault."

Fumino sighed softly, "If I didn't know mom's laptop password, maybe dad wouldn't care about me. I don't care, just put my father's business aside for now."

"Do not care about anything." Naoki said. "I'm free tonight, I'll go over to your house to play, and arrange for uncle to dream about auntie. It's not easy."

"I want to go too." Rizu then raised his hand. "This time you do something like that, don't leave me alone."

Fumino blushed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that kind of thing."

Rizu: "I'm curious."

Fumino: "That kind of thing is so common, no curiosity at all."

"All in all, Dad doesn't have to worry about it, there won't be any time soon."

...

Talking all the way, quickly walked to school.

Chemistry clubroom.

"Nii-chan, please." Rin was sitting in the clubroom, doing her homework miserably, and when she saw Naoki appear, she was overjoyed, "I don't understand this question no matter what."

Naoki glanced at the question, and quickly said:

"Just ask Fumino this question."

While talking, Naoki suddenly felt someone touch him lightly.

Looking back, Sawako's voice was very low, and said: "Sorry."

"Why suddenly apologize?" Naoki was curious.

"Mom suddenly called you yesterday morning, and I couldn't stop her in time..." Sawako bit her lower lip and blamed herself a little, "I'm sorry."

Yesterday mother got out of control and shouted Naoki's identity, when she left, Sawako only saw Naoki surrounded by a group of people, and was a little sad alone.

It's true that the bastard went too far, but she didn't want Naoki to die socially.

"Since it's an apology, show your sincerity." Naoki then lowered his voice, "For example, bunny girl costume."

"Impossible." Sawako opens her eyes wide and quickly covers her chest. "Don't even think about that kind of outfit."

"Nii-chan , what are you talking about." Rin turned her head and shouted, "I finished my homework, I can come and play a board game."

"I coming."

Naoki walked over to Fumino and sat down.

They chatted while playing a board game, which is the traditional method of opening game clubs.

"It's almost Valentine's Day." Rin stretched out her hand, "Nii-chan, give me some pocket money, and I'll buy you some chocolate."

Yuika said soft and weak: "Yuika saw the SNS last night. On Valentine's Day, a comet happened to cross the sky. If we're lucky, we might even see a meteor shower."

Sayuki supported her pink cheek with her right hand: "I heard that the comet's color is turquoise, and its return period is very long. We only get to see it once in 10,000 years. It just so happens to be Valentine's Day, it's a romance that can only be encountered once in 10,000 years."

Sawako takes over the topic: "I saw the news too. Tokyo just happens to be one of the best observation points in the Northern Hemisphere."

Hearing everyone's words, Naoki calmly turned his head and looked out the window at the endless blue sky.

A romantic comet that could only be seen once in ten thousand years, he had seen it many times.
