Giving nothing to a young girl

"Is Fumino free today?"

While having breakfast, Ogata suddenly asked.

"Hah?" Furuhashi asked back, "Is there something Rivchan?"

"I just received a message from Sekijou-san asking if we were free." Ogata drank the soup, "If you are free, let's go to the cinema together."

"What time exactly?" Furuhashi pondered, "First decide whether it is morning or evening, first clean the house, then go to the cafe to work."

Ogata picks up the phone: "Sekijou-san said watching a movie at 10 am."

"It does not matter." Furuhashi nodded, "Let's have a look together."

Ogata looked at Naoki and said, "Is Asakawa-san free too?"

"Wait a moment." Naoki raised his right hand and said firmly, "What movie are you going to watch?"

"The movie version of Detective Conan has just been released."

It's not just released, it's released for four days, okay? He had seen the film twice, and all the details and suspense were clear!

Furuhashi looked at Naoki with a frown, "Asakawa-san is so busy, you sure don't have time?"

"Hah?" Ogata tilted his head, his eyes confused, "Asakawa-san doesn't work part time, why are you busy?"

Furuhashi hesitated: "...Busy playing games."

If Naoki was busy playing with other girls, Furuhashi really couldn't tell.

This morning's picture was so frightening that it almost left a psychological shadow. The calmer a person was, the more terrifying they would be after blackening. Ogata Rizu fully fits these criteria.

"I really don't have time." Naoki put down his chopsticks and said unhurriedly, "But when you said that, I suddenly had time."

Furuhashi puffed out his cheeks.

After breakfast, Furuhashi and Ogata went to pack their clothes, Naoki was sitting in front of the TV watching the news, and the phone suddenly vibrated.

"Stupid Asakawa, what did you do last night?"

Picking up the phone, he saw that it was a message from Nino.

Naoki was a little confused, and replied: "It's a long story, I did a lot last night..."

Nino: "Then make it a short story."

Naoki: "Study, shower, sleep."

....

On the other hand.

Nino clenched his fists, "I can't take it anymore, I will beat him!"

Yotsuba whispered: "Nino herself threw herself into the net, the sheep entered the tiger's mouth, and she asked for trouble."

"Yotsuba?"

Nino's face condensed.

"Sorry I was wrong!"

Yotsuba hastily raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"Serious Nino." Miku said calmly, "If you don't ask, I will send a message."

"I will…" Nino quickly looked at the phone, "I can't let Asakawa get too proud."

...

After waiting for a while, Naoki saw Nino's new message.

"Did you do anything weird last night? We all saw you in our dreams."

"Hah?" Naoki said quickly, "The five of you are in the hospital, wishing I could cure Auntie's dream?"

"You did admit it!"

Seeing Nino's message, Naoki couldn't help but ponder.

Last night was clearly Furuhashi's dream, but they actually had memories, and their understanding of the dream world was really just the tip of the iceberg.

"Admit it." Nino tapped his finger on the screen quickly, "You pretended to be Onii-chan, touched my head, pinched Ichika and Miku's faces, and tricked us into making a wish... So many things are too much, what do you think?"

Naoki's expression remained unchanged: "I see, next time if I don't intend to enter your dream again, I will take the five of you to school and become a tutor in a dream."

"I have to keep studying in my dream, life is too hard!" Nino complained, and then pretended not to care and asked, "By the way, Furuhashi-san isn't home yet? "

"The problem of running away from home has been resolved, and he'll be back in the afternoon."

"Is that a coincidence?" Nino suspected, "Aren't you lying to me?"

Naoki: "You can tell, I definitely didn't lie to you."

....

Nino was dumbfounded: "…What does Asakawa mean?"

Miku said from the side: "Asakawa said, if he wanted to lie to you, you wouldn't know about it at all."

"Hatred!"

...

After talking for a while, Furuhashi and Ogata changed clothes and walked out.

"Asakawa-san, we are ready to go."

"Um."

Naoki agreed and messaged Nino: "I'm going out."

Nino was curious, "What did you do when you came out?"

"Watching movies."

Nino narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with killing intent: "…You actually dare to say that!"

Furiously putting down the phone, Nino put his hand on his chest: "It's obvious that Asakawa wants to go to the movies with Furuhashi… A pervert! We will ignore it in the future!"

Ichika nodded in agreement with a serious expression: "Nino's right, I agree."

Nino complained, "You're the only one who can't make people feel comfortable!"

...

Needless to say about watching the movie, the first time was surprised and looked forward to it, the second time was full of interest, looking for shadows and clues that matched each other, and the third time… Naoki was indifferent and expressionless during the whole process.

After watching the movie, it was noon, they had lunch together and then parted ways.

Sekijou and Ogata went home separately, while Furuhashi and Naoki returned to the apartment together, ready to pack their luggage.

"Uhhh..."

After getting off the carriage, Furuhashi looked up at the blue sky and said softly, "Today feels a lot cooler."

There was a wind blowing, bringing a pleasant coolness, Naoki calmly said: "Because summer is coming to an end."

"Indeed, school will start in less than a week." Furuhashi suddenly remembered.

What had she been doing this long summer vacation?

The forest of fireflies, helping Rin with homework, participating in school competitions, observing meteor showers and lunar eclipses, falling out with dad and running away from home, working at a cafe, adventuring on rainy nights, and a seaside trip in Kamakura that will always be stored deep in my memory...

In addition, there are many things that are priceless.

One of them was to break the bonds between her and his father, so that the time that had been stagnant for 10 years began to spin again.

The second is to see mother, even in a dream.

And the third...

Furuhashi looked at Naoki.

Bright and soft.

Naoki was standing in the shade of a tree, wearing a white shirt, the speckled sunlight fell on his face and shirt, making people unable to look away, and even the noisy crickets nearby quietly disappeared.

"Furuhashi?"

Naoki averted his gaze and looked at Furuhashi.

Looking at each other, Furuhashi's face quickly turned red, and she quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Feeling unwell?" Naoki asked.

"Not."

Furuhashi hastily shook his head.

Naoki wondered "Why is your face suddenly so red?"

"...I am thirsty!"

Furuhashi quickly turned around, walked to a vending machine not far away, bought two drink cans, a can of 100% strawberry juice, and a bottle of sugar-free green tea, and handed the green tea to Naoki: "This is for you."

After living together for so long, it was natural to know what kind of drink Naoki liked.

One summer afternoon, there were very few people on the street and it was unusually quiet, the two of them drinking and walking to the apartment together.

Naoki took out the key, opened the door, and entered the house first.

"I'm back."

Furuhashi shouted sternly.

Naoki said, "Welcome back."

"What, obviously getting back together…"

Furuhashi glanced at Naoki angrily, put down the things in his hands, walked into the bedroom, and started to pack up.

When she came, there was only one briefcase containing a change of clothes, a girl's personal belongings, and a reference book for counseling. Now, after sorting through, Furuhashi suddenly found a lot of stuff.

Pillows, figurines, various small souvenirs, stuffed pandas shot at the fireworks festival, photos taken by everyone on the beach together, and various little things that fill the room unknowingly...

Among them, she bought it herself, There were also trophies won together with Asakawa-san, each of which represented a memory.

Looking at the small, or rather small, bedroom, Furuhashi suddenly had a desire to stay in his heart.

Compared to the empty and lonely room, where the desk lamp was not turned on at night, and she did not dare to sleep, Furuhashi suddenly realized that she really liked the room in front of her.

It's not huge, but it's very convincing.

But... definitely disrespectful?

It's just that the conflict with the father has not been resolved. Now that the matter was resolved, if she still stayed and refused to leave, she couldn't justify what she was thinking!

Furuhashi shook his head, pushed the bad thoughts out of his mind, packed his luggage, and walked out of the room.

"Asakawa-san, I have been giving you trouble all this time." Furuhashi said with a slight bow, "Many thanks."

Naoki sat on the sofa: "While thanking you, please show your sincerity."

"Eh?"

Furuhashi was slightly surprised, and quickly raised his hand to cover his chest.

Naoki raised his hand and said, "I mean knee pillow, don't think it's bent."

"Who wants to bend!" Furuhashi blushed and looked embarrassed, "I'll be back without a lap pillow!"

After a pause, Furuhashi explained, "It's too late to take it home and head to the cafe for work."

Naoki walked to Furuhashi and helped it to salute: "Now you don't have to rent a house yourself, and you have to go to a maid cafe for work?"

"At least I have to work until the end of summer vacation." Furuhashi shook his head slowly, "…Although it's a bit difficult, it feels good to work and earn money on your own. Apart from that, everyone at the cafe is very nice and I have learned a lot."

"…I suddenly want to drink coffee."

"There's instant coffee in the drawer, make your own."

The two of them walked out of the apartment, and on their way downstairs, they happened to meet a woman with pink hair reaching her waist and wearing a formal suit.

Seeing Naoki and Furuhashi, the visitor's footsteps stopped for a moment.

"Kirisu sensei?" Furuhashi stopped and said hello. "Good afternoon."

"...Good afternoon."

Mafuyu nodded lightly with an indifferent expression, she who was not drunk, was always serious and cold.

"Sensei, good afternoon." Naoki followed, "Isn't it hot to go out in formal clothes?"

Mafuyu said as if nothing had happened: "School is about to start, I will go to school to handle some things."

"You have to go out in such hot weather, sensei has worked hard."

Mafuyu slightly turned her face away, "This is my job…"

After a pause, Mafuyu looked down and landed on Naoki's hands, curious: "What are you two doing?"

"The misunderstanding has been resolved, and I'm going home now." Furuhashi explained curtly, "I've been causing trouble for sensei recently."

"Just go back." Mafuyu glared at Naoki, "…You guys go, I'm going upstairs."

...

The two of them walked slowly towards the train station.

Furuhashi said softly, "Asakawa-san, I'll be back."

"When you go to bed at night, remember to keep the windows tightly closed to prevent mosquitoes from flying in."

"Now the weather is not as hot as it used to be. You don't have to turn on the air conditioner all night, you can set a timer."

"In addition, one must pay attention to the safety of using electricity at home. While sleeping, don't forget to unplug your phone charger..."

"There were too many, I can't remember." Naoki looked at Furuhashi "How about you stay and come back after school starts?"

Furuhashi was moved for a moment and almost agreed. Fortunately, she calmed down at a critical moment: "Do your own thing... I will send you a precaution before going to bed at night. "

Seeing the train departing, Naoki turned around and returned to the apartment.

Soon afternoon.

Seeing the suddenly deserted room, Naoki had no interest in studying for a while, not even interested in games.

The phone suddenly vibrates.

Naoki picked up the phone and saw that it was a message from Ichika.

"Asakawa-kun, do you want a surprise?"

"Don't want to."

Naoki answered simply.

"Eh, normal people should say yes this time?"

"I wasn't in a good mood, and the shock turned to fear."

"That's not the case." Ichika sent a crying emoji, "Asakawa-kun, open the door quickly, the surprise is outside the door."

Naoki put down his phone, got up, walked behind the door, and opened the door.

He thought there was Ichika outside the door, but when he looked out, the corridor was empty, no one was there, only a paper bag hung on the doorknob, there was also a sticker.

Naoki looked at the sticker and saw that it said:

"The surprise is in the bag."

Naoki opened the shopping bag and found the newly released manga JUMP inside.

At the same time, a short-haired girl secretly poked her face out from the corner of the stairs, stood on tiptoe, slipped behind Naoki, and reached out to pat Naoki's shoulder.

With his palm still in the air, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist firmly.

"Eh?" Ichika's eyes widened, "How did Asakawa-kun find out about me?"

"If you hang things on the door, knock on the door and run away, I really can't find it." Naoki complained, "When I see manga, I know what you want to do."

Ichika smiled: "So, Asakawa-kun and I have a heart in sync?"

Naoki took a half step forward and said. "Then guess what I want to do now?"
