[Chinatsu Igarashi: Okay. Bye.]

After Igarashi Chinatsu hung up the phone, she looked at the first half of "Journey Under the Midnight Sun" and felt an itch in her heart, a very uncomfortable feeling, and a strong desire to see the second half of the story.

But Kamishiro-kun didn't write it?!

Chinatsu Igarashi couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed.

Isn't it supposed to be 10,000 words per hour?

Hurry up and write it!

Just as she was complaining about Shiro Kaede, she suddenly felt her stomach start to grow hungry for no reason.

Gulu gulu~

Igarashi Chinatsu clutched her ravenously hungry stomach, inwardly wondering how long she had been reading novels.

Why am I so hungry?

She looked at the time.

When I realized it was already past nine o'clock.

Chinatsu Igarashi was stunned.

"Huh? I've been watching for over four hours?"

"It's over, it's over."

"Have all my colleagues already gone home?"

She immediately turned her head and looked around.

She felt relieved after discovering that her colleagues were also working overtime.

"Forget it, let's just go home and have dinner now."

"After dinner, let the editorial staff look at Shiro Kaede's manuscript again tomorrow."

"Let's take it home tonight and help polish up Kamishiro-kun's novel."

at night.

The midterm exams are in just a few days.

So today, Erina Kamishiro is also studying at the coffee shop with Mirai Chitanda and others.

However, they left earlier, so she was the only one studying in the attic at this time.

Time quietly slipped to ten o'clock.

"Erina, let's go."

"Oh!"

Hearing Bai Feng calling from the stairs, Erina happily came down.

Then he went back with Shiro Kaede and Maki Mizuno.

On the way back.

As Mizuno Maki watched Shiroshiro carrying Erina on her back, the two chatting and laughing, a hint of indescribable sorrow crept into her otherwise aloof expression.

Since everyone previously assumed they were siblings, she naturally wouldn't have any misunderstandings about their intimate behavior.

But now, seeing the two of them still so affectionate is quite touching.

What can she do to stop caring?

If only they were siblings, I wouldn't be so afraid and have so many wild thoughts.

But since Kamishiro-kun is such an upright person, he probably wouldn't lay a hand on Erina, right?

After all, given how many days they'd spent together, if he wanted to make a move, he would have done it to Erina long ago.

How could they stop at their current state of being just like siblings?

Just when Mizuno Maki was troubled.

She found herself unknowingly arriving at the apartment entrance.

"Mikoto, see you tomorrow."

"Maki-chan, we're leaving now, bye-bye."

"Uh, goodbye."

Maki Mizuno, who had just come to her senses, waved goodbye to the two of them.

She watched the two figures walk away, feeling somewhat helpless.

But in the end, all I could do was stop thinking about it.

Maki Mizuno turned around and started walking home.

"Those two siblings looked really well-matched just now. How could they be siblings?" Granny Otose, lying on a recliner by the door, wondered.

Maki Mizuno's expression was somewhat bitter:

"Grandma Otose, you guessed right. They really aren't blood siblings, they're god-siblings."

Grandma Otose paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly:

"That would be troublesome."

"Maki-chan, you have to do your best."

"If you ask me, someone as hot-blooded as Kamishiro is easily tempted by girls. If you confess first, you might win his heart more easily."

Mizuno Maki paused for a moment, then immediately recalled that Kamishiro had rejected many girls at school, even Maejima Rika.

She wanted to deny it, saying that Kamishiro-kun wouldn't readily accept a girl's confession, but then felt there was no need to deny it, which saddened Otose-san.

So she nodded and said:

"Well, I will."

The wrinkled old woman, Otose, sighed and laughed:

"Very good, that's the spirit."

"Remember, never let a mistake become a missed opportunity, like I did."

"Eh"

Chapter 283 Mist Veil: What Happens Next?

on the way home.

Kamishiro Shiro remembered that she needed to go to the supermarket to buy some groceries, so she said to Erina:

"Erina, you should go home first."

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy some things."

Erina Kamishiro's eyes darted around playfully, and she smiled:

"I am coming too!"

"There are things I want to buy too."

Jindai Bai Feng asked curiously:

"buy what?"

Erina Kamishiro chuckled:

"Buy snacks!"

Shiro Shiro glanced at her and said irritably:

"Let's go then."

Upon hearing this, Erina Kamishiro happily walked beside Shirakaze Kamishiro, chattering away.

Kamishiro Shiro listened silently, occasionally offering a few words of criticism or commentary.

The two of them slowly walked towards the supermarket.

After entering the supermarket.

While pushing the shopping cart and selecting items, Shiro Kaede also took out her phone to call Ayaka Sato, who was at home.

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Auntie, Erina and I are at the supermarket right now. Is there anything you want to buy?]

[Ayaka Sato: Hey, you guys went to the supermarket near your house? Speaking of things to buy, let's get some dish soap, shower gel, and tissues; we're almost out of these.]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Anything else?]

[Ayaka Sato: Let me think about it.]

[Ayaka Sato: (≥/////ω/////≤) Could you give the phone to Erina? I'm...]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: Yeah. 】

Shiro Kaede handed the phone to Erina.

After Erina answered the phone for a while, a blush slowly crept onto her fair and lovely face.

She handed the phone, which had already been disconnected, to Bai Feng.

After putting away his phone, Shiro Kaede asked:

What did your aunt say to you?

Erina Kamishiro's face flushed slightly, and she shook her head, saying:

"It's nothing, my aunt just asked me to buy some candy to take home."

After thinking about it for a while, Shiro Shiro didn't say anything, and just strolled around the supermarket with Erina.
