Winter Journey

"Wait a moment."

Sekijou's eyelashes continued to flutter, and suddenly stopped.

Naoki sat up straight: "I've brushed my teeth."

"I don't care if you brush your teeth or not!" Sekijou blushed and looked shyly, "Furuhashi-san and Rizu-san aren't here… Don't take the opportunity to do weird things."

"Um?"

Naoki lowered his gaze and landed on his lips.

Sekijou quickly raised his hand and covered his lips: "If you mess up, I will… I will tell Furuhashi-san."

If Sekijou called the police, it would make Naoki hesitate for a while, but she actually said that telling Furuhashi directly revealed his external strength and acting within it!

Naoki said with a serious expression: "You don't believe me."

Sekijou: "😐"

Asakawa bastard who wants to open a harem, how dare you say this!

"Still not anyway." Sekijou tightly shut his mouth "I can't do things that make me feel sorry for Furuhashi-san and Rizu-san."

"Actually I'm sorry for the others…"

"Eh?"

Naoki coughed: "Open your eyes, don't close them."

"Let me try."

Sekijou tried his best to open his eyes.

Naoki looked at each other.

Time passed silently, second by second.

"Why aren't you moving?" Sekijou asked in a muffled voice.

Naoki told the truth: "Too lazy to move."

"This is very troublesome." Sekijou lifted his chin slightly, and closed his eyes, "Hurry up."

Naoki reached out to touch Sekijou's forehead.

Sekijou was surprised: "What are you doing?"

"Press your bangs." Naoki answered confidently.

Bangs are the second beauty of a girl. Nine out of ten girls will brush their bangs and show their big forehead straight on.

"I'll do it myself."

Sekijou covered his lips with one hand and pushed up his bangs with the other, exposing a forehead.

Naoki lowered his head slightly, kissed his forehead, and added a buff.

"Meow!"

A cat's shrill meow suddenly sounded.

Sekijou shivered in fear, and a thump hit Naoki's nose.

Naoki covered his nose and leaned back.

"It hurts..." Sekijou covered his forehead with his hand, and his eyes quickly fell on Naoki, "Are you okay?"

"You broke my nose."

"This is not a toothpick, how can it suddenly break." Sekijou leaned in closer, "That cat is really scary now… Release your hand and let me see.."

Naoki withdrew his hand: "It hurts."

"My forehead hurts." Sekijou felt a little guilty, "…Shall I rub it for you?"

"Where?"

"Of course the nose!" Sekijou was embarrassed "What were you thinking!"

Sekijou turned his head and looked at a corner, his eyes suddenly widened: "Hanako-chan?"

Hanako hugged her legs, sat quietly in a corner, and excitedly looked up. Because Furuhashi and Ogata weren't there, she looked a little depressed.

"Just for a few seconds, why did I see Hanako-chan?" Sekijou turned his head to look at Naoki, "Actually it only took a few seconds, right?"

Naoki lowered his tone: "The more secrets you know, the more dangerous it is."

"It's getting late, I'll be back." Naoki got up and said goodbye.

Sekijou said hesitantly, "And the cat outside, I don't know why it's meowing so loudly."

Naoki ponders: "Maybe it's estrus?"

"It's winter now, not the season for cats to overheat." Sekijou complained. "I don't know why, but it sounds really scary."

Naoki said: "Then let's go out and have a look?"

Sekijou was waiting for these words, and when she heard them, she quickly took a scarf and wrapped it: "Let's go."

...

After Sekijou moved in, she lived in a very public, old-fashioned two-story apartment building with a small garden behind it.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, the night was cold, the temperature was very low, no one was on the street, and it was very quiet.

A cold wind blew, and Sekijou shivered slightly: "It's so cold."

Naoki glanced at Sekijou and walked forward: "I heard that voice coming from the park just now, let's go."

Sekijou nodded and followed Naoki step by step.

"When you don't come, the cat keeps meowing, and the sound is so shrill, it sounds scary."

"No one came to see?"

"In the middle of the night, it's a small garden again. Most people don't want to go out."

The two talked and quickly walked into the garden.

There are no street lights in the park, only darkness.

Sekijou took out his cellphone, turned on the flashlight function, and was in charge of the lighting.

"Where is the sound coming from?" Sekijou stood on tiptoe and looked left and right.

Naoki said quickly: "Go left, I heard the direction to the left just now."

"Oh."

The two of them walked along the gravel paved path to the left of the park.

Not long after, a cat's shrill meow suddenly came from the bushes.

"Hyaa..."

Sekijou cried out in fear, and instinctively hugged Naoki's arm.

"In the bushes." Sekijou's face was pale, Naoki was by his side, otherwise she would have turned and run.

"I hear." Naoki nodded, and led Sekijou to the bush where the voice came from, stretched out his hand to peel the bushes, looked inside, and immediately saw a gray and white tabby.

When the light from the cell phone came on, the cat meowed more miserably, struggling in the bushes, making the whole bush vibrate.

Sekijou nervously: "What happened to that cat?"

"His paws got entangled in the ropes." Naoki looked up, "No wonder the sound is so loud."

"That's really..."

Sekijou looked inside, the stray cat was struggling again, opening its mouth and breathing, looking very fierce.

A cat like creature who is super cute when cute, and also super fierce when angry. Sekijou was terrified.

"Let me go first," said Naoki, "I will untie the ropes from this stray cat's legs."

"Um?"

Sekijou looked down, only to notice that she was still holding Naoki's arm tightly, his face a little red, and she quickly let go of his hand.

Seeing Naoki reaching for the stray cat, Sekijou hugged Naoki's arm tightly again, and shouted nervously:

"Don't touch it."

Naoki looked confused: "What's wrong?"

"Must be a wild cat?" Sekijou said nervously, "Cats and dogs can be infected with rabies. This stray cat looks very fierce, if it scratches you, it will be troublesome."

A cat getting its claws entangled in something is really sad, but if Naoki gets infected with the rabies virus for saving his cat, what will Furuhashi and Ogata do? What should it do alone?

"Don't worry about it." Sekijou bit his lip, "I'll call the apartment manager later and ask him to come and save that cat."

"Do not worry." Naoki smiled and said, "Actually, I have a special cat training skill."

"Eh?"

"You see."

Naoki motioned for Sekijou to look at the stray cat, and indicated: "Get off."

The stray cat that was about to become as ferocious as it should have, showed a confused expression on its cat face, and then lay down on the ground.

"It really lay down?" Sekijou was surprised, "Cats are really obedient? Don't you mean cats just live in their own world and don't listen to others at all?"

As we all know, cats' sense of smell is far superior to humans, and they are comparable to dogs. Unfortunately, since ancient times, there have only been police dogs and even police pigs. It had never heard of a police cat!

"Do not ask." Naoki said earnestly "Asking is just a matter of talent."

"Huh, mysterious."

Naoki looked at the cat and said again, "Do another 360 degree backflip."

"Meow."

The feral cat meowed again, but this time it sounded very sad.

"Exaggerated." Sekijou complained, "Why don't you let the kitten do some crunches?"

"That's a good proposal." Naoki nodded in agreement "If I take a video and post it online, I can become a pet blogger very soon."

"That kind of thing isn't interesting at all." Sekijou said speechlessly, "And there's still a rope wrapped around his claws, so there's no chance for him to do a backflip."

"Stop talking, I'll untie the rope first."

Sekijou was still a little worried, and kept saying: "Be careful."

"Know."

Seeing Naoki half-squatting and reaching out to the stray cat, Sekijou covered his chest with his right hand, and a heart rose in his throat, for fear that the wild cat would show its ferocity again, and suddenly pounced on and bit Naoki.

If Naoki really got bitten, Sekijou would regret it to death.

Even now she was starting to regret it again. It's too dangerous to catch a stray cat with your bare hands. Diw should have asked the apartment manager to handle this kind of thing with tools.

The more Sekijou thought about it, the more nervous she became, and she could only whisper, "Asakawa."

"Um?"

"How about we go buy a pair of rubber gloves first?"

"With the rubber gloves, I couldn't get the rope off."

"Then just buy some scissors."

"Too many problems."

Naoki started talking while talking.

Sekijou hastily held his breath and didn't dare to open the virtual at all.

Thankfully the cat was sprawled on the ground, and didn't actually attack Naoki, but only let out one or two painful whimpers from time to time.

After a while.

"Okay."

Naoki quickly untied the rope that was wrapped around the cat's legs.

The stray cat quickly stood up, rubbed Naoki's hand, then ran away.

Sekijou's heart suddenly lifted: "Just bit you?"

"No." Naoki stood up and clapped his hands "Just rubbed me a bit to say thank you."

Sekijou said firmly: "Stretch out your hand and let me see."

"Not needed..."

"Fast."

Naoki was helpless and stretched out his hand.

Sekijou wore a serious expression and held Naoki's finger, from the palm to the back of his hand, inside and out, and carefully inspected it, until she was sure there were no scratches or bite marks, and she was relieved.

"Can you let me go now?" Naoki groaned "It would be a misunderstanding if someone saw that."

Sekijou blushed, and quickly let go of his hand: "It's late, it's in the park again, no one saw it at all."

"Who said no?"

Naoki pointed up with his chin.

"Eh?"

Sekijou turned his head to look at the apartment building, his eyes quickly fell to the small balcony of his apartment, a transparent ghost floating on the balcony, looking curious with wide eyes.

...

The two returned to the apartment.

Naoki finished washing his hands, and quickly said, "I'll be right back."

Before he knew it, it was already 10pm.

"You..." Sekijou opened his mouth, originally planning to let Naoki stay, but as the words left his lips, she swallowed them back down. She couldn't do things that betrayed Furuhashi and Ogatao, "Go home, pay attention to road safety."

Naoki waved his hand and walked out.

Sekijou sent him downstairs to the apartment: "When you get back, message me to let me know."

"understood."

...

Fast forward to Saturday.

At 8.40am.

As soon as Naoki walked to the train station, he saw a girl with beautiful long blue hair wearing a white headband standing in a corner of the train station waiting for someone.

"Asakawa-san, good morning."

Seeing Naoki approaching, Furuhashi waved his hand.

"Earlier." Naoki walked up to Furuhashi "Didn't you make an appointment at 9am, this early?"

"Just 10 minutes." Furuhashi shook his head "I was thinking about going to Kamakura today, I woke up really early and couldn't sleep, so I came early. By the way, I've never been to Kamakura."

Naoki said, "This time, I'm going to soak in a hot spring."

Furuhashi was angry: "Help Hanako-chan find her mother is real business, don't just think about soaking in the hot springs."

While talking, Sekijou and Ogata walked together.

"Fumino, good morning."

"Good morning."

Sekijou is carrying a school bag that contains Temari's ball.

Soon after, Rin came running: "Onee-san!"

Furuhashi's eyes lit up: "It's Rin-chan."

Behind Rin, there was Yuika.

"Senpai, good morning."

Yuika was wearing a scarf and looked small. Her golden hair shone dazzlingly in the sun. She is very cute, but unfortunately she is a perverted girl.

That's right, two junior high school students had nothing to do, so they wanted to go to Kamakura to take a hot bath together.

It was almost 9am when the Nakano Family's Quintuplets finally showed up.

Yotsuba was the first to appear: "Good morning everyone."

Nino put his hand on his chest: "Ichika is too slow."

Ichika interrupted: "Obviously we're late, I want to sue."

Miku said in a weak tone: "It's outside, pay attention to the picture."

During the conversation, Sayuki with a very good figure and excellent appearance, "Naoki-kun, good morning."

"Stupid servant." Yuika quickly puffed out her cheeks, "You even called him?"

"No." Naoki firmly denies.

"Sayuki Onee-san, I will call." Rin quickly showed herself, I chatted with Sayuki Onee-san last night, heard that we were going to the hot springs in Kamakura, and Sayuki Onee-san wanted to play together, so I asked Onee-san, she said no. problem."

Yuika; "😐"

The traitor is by his side.
