School library.
Naoki often came to the library to read books, but he was not a stranger at all.
Walking to the front door with ease, he saw Nanjo was 'on duty', standing behind the borrowing desk, his face flashing an expression of indifference. The aura made people afraid to get close – actually it was just a fear of life.
Just like hedgehogs, they use displeased expressions to resist others from approaching them. Right now, the effect seemed to be overwhelming. Nanjo stood alone behind the book table, and no one spoke to het at all.
"Why did you just come?"
Seeing Naoki enter, Nanjo's eyes brightened slightly, and an 'I'm not happy' expression still appeared on his face, but there was clearly a hint of grievance in his voice.
"I just finished P.E class, so I was wasting my time." Naoki walked to Nanjo "How are you feeling?"
Nanjo bit his pink lips: "What do you think?"
Standing alone in a foreign library, being watched back and forth by strangers, of course, every minute and every second is hard to endure.
"Asakawa-san, do you know Nanjo-san?" A short-haired girl near Nanjo looked up, with a curious expression on her face.
This girl and Naoki used to be classmates, they weren't friends, but they had no problem talking to each other.
"Ah, Nanjo and I are..."
Nanjo stretched out his right hand and stabbed his finger into Naoki's waist: "It's fine to talk less."
That's too outrageous! Did you know that a man's waist is the most important thing, don't pinch it at every opportunity! Besides, there is nothing to say about the relationship between brother and sister, if I don't say it, it will make people misunderstand!
The short-haired girl, noticing Nanjo's slight movement just now, had a 'that's' expression on her face: "I see."
Naoki narrowed his eyes: "Although I don't know what you understand, the truth is definitely not what you think."
"Okay." The short-haired girl waved her hand with a cute smile on her face, "I will help Asakawa-san keep it a secret."
You are a big head, you really want to be crooked! The relationship between a man and a woman is not only a romantic relationship, but also a brother and sister, slave and master, father and daughter! The average length of time for women to keep secrets was 47 hours. Those who say 'guarantee won't say it', 99% will say it when they turn around!
"Neighbor." Nanjo's face slightly she explained in a tone that pretended to be nonchalant.
Hello, would you rather say you are a neighbor than admit a brother-sister relationship?
No matter how you look at it, brothers and sisters are closer than neighbors!
"Someone took the book just now." The short-haired girl pushed the glasses at the bridge of her nose and said with a smile, "Asakawa-san, bring Nanjo-san to return the book to its original position."
Naoki said speechlessly, "I just came to read…"
"Talk less, work more."
Nanjo interrupted Naoki, handed over a few books, held the remaining books in his hands, and turned around and said, "Let's hurry."
That's right, the work of the library committee is very simple and boring. When other people borrow and return books, they are responsible for registering them, and then returning the returned books to their original place. In the end, most of the time was spent in a daze.
One is that not many people read books in the library after school, most of them are junior high school students, and the other is that there are many members of the library committee. The girl with super rustic braids, and Nanjo is the same as the library committee member, and her name seems to be Sanshokuin... Forget it, it doesn't matter.
"Do you know how to return the book?" Naoki asked.
An unhappy expression appeared on Nanjou's face: "I'm not stupid."
"It doesn't matter." Naoki glanced at the labels on the books that needed sorting, then divided the book into two parts, and handed one of them to Nanjo, "The bookshelf of these books is on the second floor, I will go to the third floor."
Nanjo: "..."
Walking to the third floor, Naoki walked through the rows of bookshelves to arrange the books according to the information on the labels. The afternoon sun, and the warm sunlight poured in from the window, forming a bright ray of light, and it was faintly seen that there were small dust floating in the library, and the library was quite quiet. Sometimes one can hear the rustle of turning the pages, which makes one feel at peace.
Turning a row of bookshelves, a petite girl with long silver hair was seen by Naoki. She stood on tiptoe and raised his right hand, trying to reach the books on the bookshelf, but unfortunately she wasn't tall enough and looked troubled.
"Ootori Koharu?"
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the silver-haired girl turned her face to the side, and when she saw that the person who appeared was Naoki, her face quickly turned red with blush, and she looked down at her toes in panic.
"Which book would you like to read?" Naoki walked towards Koharu and glanced at the books on the bookshelf, all of which were related to photography, "I'll get them for you."
How to say that the two also have the 'fate of panties, but it is not good to turn a blind eye.
"No need..."
Koharu shook his head nervously, his voice unexpectedly pleasant.
"I am the 'library committee' acting now," said Naoki, "Just tell me which book you want to get."
"Eh?" Koharu was surprised, and she secretly raised his eyes to look at her, his blue eyes like a sea of sky filled with curiosity, and she whispered, "How did Asakawa-san become a member of the library committee?"
Naoki shrugged: "Due to some things, people can't help themselves when they are in school."
"Like this..."
After a few words with Naoki, the tension in Koharu's heart slowly dissipated, and she gathered his courage and said, "Please bring me the book Advanced Photography Skills"
Without waiting for Naoki to ask, Koharu explained, "I just joined the photography club and want to learn photography skills..."
Koharu glanced at Naoki calmly, and continued: "Learn good photography skills, then use them to shoot Asakawa-san secretly."
"No, it's not a stalker, it's just a secret shot in a place Asakawa-san doesn't know about."
Naturally, Naoki didn't know what Koharu was thinking, so he reached out and took an "Advanced Photography Skill" from the bookshelf, "This…"
"Hmm…" Koharu hugged the book in his hands, and said in a soft and pleasant voice, "Thank you Asakawa-san."
"You're welcome." Naoki pointed at the corner of the wall, "There's a small stool over there."
"Eh?" Koharu tilted his head, "Asakawa-san…do you want me to sit there and read?"
"No." Naoki shrugged, "Next time you find a book you can't reach, and are embarrassed to ask someone for help, you can step on that little stool."
Koharu: "..."
*ring rings*
The cell phone in the pocket vibrates.
Naoki took out his cell phone, and it was a message from 'Ogata Rizu'.
"Asakawa-san, I suddenly have a stomach ache and I can't go to the library. Forgive me."
Then came the news about Furuhashi Fumino.
"I will accompany Ricchan to the hospital."
"Of course…" Naoki raised his hand and pressed his brows, "Sorry."
