And there was a biting cold wind sweeping in from in front of me.

Nanxiang shrank his neck and pulled up his collar.

After thinking about it, I decided to call Shinjo Akane while I was walking.

"Hey? Qian? Is everything alright on your end? It's raining quite heavily."

"It's not a big problem, Toki-kun."

Akane Shinjo had just arrived home and was breathing on her hands to warm them: "Mirai and I are home. How about you? Are you alright?"

"I'm here..."

Nanxiang glanced at it and said, "It's not a big problem, just raining, but the wind isn't particularly strong."

Although there was a cold wind, it wasn't particularly strong enough to blow the heavy rain under the umbrella.

"…That's good."

Hearing that there weren't any major problems on Nango's side, Shinjo Akane breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should go back now, Kimi. I'll talk to you later."

"Wait! I also want to say a few words to Dad—"

pat!

The phone hangs up.

The phone kept ringing with busy signals.

Nanxiang found it somewhat amusing when he put his phone away.

I really don't know how this mother and daughter will manage to live together for a week.

but--

"It's good that there's no major problem."

After putting the phone back down, Nanxiang continued walking forward.

The road to the "Stars" performance hall is not difficult to walk.

It's a commercial street after all; just walk straight ahead for a couple of steps and you'll be there.

but--

"Hmm?" A figure moving slowly in the rain ahead caught the attention of Nango Toki, who was walking forward.

"That is...?"

Nanxiang frowned.

She was a girl with pink hair.

Her specific appearance was hidden beneath her pink hair, and her expression was completely obscured.

Nanxiang noticed the other person because the other person was walking on the street without an umbrella, and seemed to be walking aimlessly.

In addition, the fact that the person was alone made them stand out on the street.

and--

"That looks like our school uniform?"

Yes.

The pink-haired girl was wearing the winter uniform of Ocha High School.

She wore a navy blue uniform jacket on top and a thick midi skirt to suit the cold weather.

It's just because I got caught in the rain.

It made her look damp all over.

"..." Nanxiang time.

Girl.

Alone.

Walking on the streets soaked by the heavy rain.

From any perspective, this is the scene where the female protagonist in the story is waiting for the male protagonist in her dream to approach her.

All it takes is a simple question: "Are you alright? Is something bothering you?"

Then he tilted the umbrella in his hand and held it at an angle over the girl's head.

A romantic story is about to unfold.

This is undoubtedly a scene that everyone in animation dreams of.

but--

"Let's go."

Nanxiang looked away expressionlessly.

He had absolutely no intention of meddling in other people's business.

After all, he was walking alone on the streets of Shimokitazawa without anyone accompanying him, and in such cold weather he wasn't even using an umbrella...

Without a doubt, this girl is an oddball.

Moreover, it exudes an aura of trouble no matter how you look at it.

Nanxiang Shi didn't want to get entangled in some inexplicable trouble because of a girl who had nothing to do with him, so he made a quick decision to leave without lingering to inquire or show any concern.

Even if the other person is a student at the same Ocha High School as him.

He didn't pay any attention to it.

Just as Nanxiang took two steps forward, wanting to get away from the other person.

Bang.

A dull thud, like a solid human body hitting the ground, suddenly came from behind Nanxiang Shi.

"..." Nanxiang time.

"Hey."

Nango shook his head helplessly, then turned around and looked at the pink-haired girl lying motionless on the ground.

"Being soft-hearted is my only flaw, even though I'm an excellent person."

He sighed.

Nango shook his head and walked towards the pink-haired girl.

He had a premonition.

This pink-haired girl is definitely a rare troubled girl.

But what can we do?

We can't just stand by and watch the other person fall on the sidewalk in the pouring rain, can we?

"Let's hang in there a little longer."

He helped her up from the ground, and regardless of whether she could hear him or not, Nanxiang said something.

He remembered there was a clinic nearby.

Let's get them there first and then figure it out.

The pink-haired girl wasn't heavy; on the contrary, she was very light.

Nango realized this the moment he helped the other person up from the ground.

However, it was only at the moment of helping the other person up.

The damp, cold touch made Nanxiang Shi feel uncomfortable all over.

But since he had already decided to send the other person to the clinic, Nango Toki naturally wouldn't give up halfway here.

He called out to her twice more, but still received no response. Nanxiang could only drag her along, step by step, towards the clinic.

……

Inside Oda Clinic.

"Ah...it's because of her cold constitution and anemia, plus getting caught in the rain, which stimulated her already weak and cold body, causing her to faint."

Cover yourself with the blanket.

Wearing square-framed glasses, Dr. Oda, who had finished examining the pink-haired girl, continued, "As long as you finish the IV drip and get plenty of rest, you'll recover quickly."

"is it?"

Upon hearing the news, Nango's expression did not change much.

After all, the pink-haired girl's affairs had little to do with him.

He stood up: "Then that's settled. Please tell her all this when she wakes up, doctor. I have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After giving a few simple instructions, Nanxiang Shi felt he had done everything he could for this troubled girl who liked to get wet in the rain, and prepared to leave.

but--

"Wait a minute, young man."

Before Nanxiang could even take a step, Dr. Xiaotian beside him hurriedly spoke up, his face full of disbelief: "You're just going to leave your girlfriend here like this? And leave by yourself?"

He was clearly a little surprised.

His words left Nanxiang Shi somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.

It seems that I have been completely misunderstood by the other party.

However, Nanxiang was not in a hurry. He patiently explained, "No, doctor, you misunderstood. I am not her boyfriend. I just happened to be passing by and saw her lying on the ground, so I brought her here."

His words clearly did not earn the other person's trust, and the other person frowned and gently advised:

“Listen to me, young man, I don’t know what irreconcilable conflict you and this girl have, but as her boyfriend, you shouldn’t say such irresponsible things. You should take care of her until the end.”

"..." Nanxiang time.

He frowned.
