I have bound two systems.

An old man who got up early was walking briskly along the street for his morning exercise, crows were pecking at garbage bags in groups of three or five, and a drunkard was lying on the green belt by the roadside.

The last one is a common occurrence in this country. Either a patrol officer will wake him up, or he will wake up on his own and go home obediently.

"Are you hungry? Do you need me to buy you something to eat?"

Suzumiya Chisato asked proactively.

There are no restaurants open on the roadside at this time, but there are convenience stores open 24 hours a day that sell all kinds of goods to fill your stomach.

"I don't feel like eating much, go buy a bottle of drink."

It seems that Hesha has passed the stage of being grumpy when waking up. After her boyfriend expressed his concern again, she smiled beautifully and held his hand with a good attitude.

Since you are just buying drinks, there is no need to go to a convenience store. The drink vending machines on the street can meet the needs of both of you.

Chisato Suzumiya took out some change from his pocket and put it into the machine. He turned his head and gave his girlfriend a questioning look.

"what do you drink?"

Touma Kazusa did not make a decision first, but asked directly.

"As for me... this one, it feels like I haven't had it in a long time."

Chisato Suzumiya pressed the button, and after a sound, he took out a bottle of drink from the pickup counter.

It's ramune soda.

"Then I'll drink this too."

Touma and Saya pressed the button and chose the same option as her boyfriend, but with a different flavor.

His is a refreshing apple, hers is a passionate mango.

With a "bang", the glass ball that performs the sealing function smashes in, and the liquid in the entire bottle suddenly comes alive. Countless bubbles continue to surge up, densely gathering into a galaxy in the bottle.

"cheers."

Chisato Suzumiya held out the drink bottle.

"childish."

Despite this response, Touma Kazusa still cooperated with his actions, and the two drink bottles collided together, making a crisp sound.

The sky is getting brighter and it is almost time for sunrise.

------

Ojin Port Beach is a well-known beach in the Tokyo area. The beautiful white sand stretches for nearly five kilometers and the water is extremely transparent. It has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Beaches in Japan" and is very suitable for diving or traveling with family.

Chisato Suzumiya held Touma and Sa's hands, passed the last zebra crossing, walked down the stairs, and stepped onto the soft beach.

So far we have arrived at our destination successfully, and the next step is to watch the sunrise.

The sky was a gradient of rouge red, and this red was getting brighter and brighter. It would not take long for the two to see the scene they had been dreaming of.

Chisato Suzumiya had already prepared everything, including what he would say when they watched the sunrise together later. Perhaps if the atmosphere was good, he would take the initiative to do some intimate things that would make both of them remember it.

But plans can't keep up with changes...

"Chirp—!"

It wasn't the sound of a bird, but the sound made by Touma Kazusa's third sneeze after she woke up.

Considering that her boyfriend was around, she would intentionally turn her head away every time she sneezed and cover her mouth with her hands to try to cover it up, which made the sound very cute.

But if Chisato Suzumiya couldn't notice such an obvious situation, there must be something fishy going on.

"…You have a cold?"

"I do not have."

Touma Kazusa resolutely gave this answer and pretended to be calm, but the blush on her cheeks and the occasional sniffling could not deceive anyone.

"Don't move, let me see."

As for the stubborn guy, Suzumiya Chisato's action was quite simple and rough. She simply reached out and held the back of the other person's neck, then leaned her head forward.

Touma and Sa were startled by his sudden action. They just opened their eyes wide but did not respond at all.

The two of them lay quietly with their foreheads pressed together, but nothing developed as she expected.

Fortunately, I didn't close my eyes subconsciously.

She thought secretly.

But Suzumiya Chisato's expression gradually became serious.

"It's definitely not a cold. You have a fever. If you were not feeling well, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Hesha did not answer his question, but turned her head to look aside.

"Your way of examining girls is really unique."

"That's only true for you. By the way, at first I did want to test the temperature of your forehead with my hand, but seeing your rosy and overly cute face, I couldn't help but want to have a more intimate physical contact with you."

"… Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah, you're really amazing for saying something so cheesy."

Kazusa quickly hugged herself and rubbed her arms.

Suzumiya Chisato looked at her with a half-smile.

"You don't deny the comments about your cuteness at all."

"I want you to take care of..."

Looking at his girlfriend's slightly puffy cheeks, Suzumiya Chisato felt both distressed and amused as he took out a whole pack of tissues from his pocket and handed them to her.

"How do you feel now? Don't hold on. If you feel really bad, let's go to the hospital right now. After all, the sun rises at any time. But if Kazusa's brain is burned, it will be a big problem. I won't be able to explain to Aunt Yoko."

"I'm not going. Don't underestimate me. I feel fine now."

Kazusa's answer was within Suzumiya Chisato's expectations, but he also had his own persistence.

The temperature of the other person's forehead that he just felt was no joke.

Although girls with sickly attributes are loved by some of the guys, Suzumiya Chisato is sure that she is definitely not among them.

Of course it's better for your woman to be healthy. It's heartbreaking to see her in pain, not to mention that you may develop those weird sexual desires in such a mood.

"Then you must go to the hospital with me after this."

Suzumiya Chisato put her hands in her pockets and changed her schedule without question, showing a slightly tough side for the first time since they started dating.

However, Touma Kazusa didn't buy his tricks at all and shook her head like a little kid.

"No, don't make a fuss. We'll go back later to finish breakfast, pack up our things and make plans, right? You know I love dolphins the most."

"How come I didn't know that you like dolphins the most?"

"I don't need to point out my failure as a boyfriend, but it's okay, because I'm in a good mood today. But in exchange, you don't need to interfere with the arrangements that have already been made, dear!"

Suzumiya Chisato was a little confused when Touma Kazusa took a step forward and touched her head.

He was thinking, hasn't his girlfriend always been aloof and cool? When did she become so eloquent?

Brought by me?

Suzumiya Chisato took her hand away and changed her strategy, intending to adopt a conciliatory strategy.

"But you need to rest in your current condition."

"I'll have plenty of time to rest when I get home tonight. At worst, I can just ask for leave tomorrow. Besides... I'm really looking forward to the next arrangements. Don't let me down, okay?"

As Touma Hesa ​​talked, she couldn't help but put her arms around his neck and stared into his dark, bright eyes. She was immersed in them and felt very excited.

The other party did not respond for a long time, so she boldly stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to offer a kiss.

Her originally rosy face now looked as if it was about to bleed.

"Don't worry about me. I can just take some medicine. Okay?"

Suzumiya Chisato raised her chin slightly and looked at her meaningfully.

"...You shouldn't say such things, Ms. Kasa."

What does this response mean?

Touma and Sa, with a head full of question marks, were about to ask when a soft red light emerged from the sky, turning the clouds red and illuminating the sea.

She stared toward the ocean in a daze, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"...I understand, but if you feel any worsening of your discomfort at any time in the future, you must tell me immediately."

After much deliberation, Chisato Suzumiya finally compromised.

"Thank you."

Touma and Sa happily hugged his waist.

She liked the way her boyfriend indulged her, his gentle and warm gaze only focused on her.

"I have thought about it and have a lot to say to you."

"You can tell me now."

"The timing is not right. The sun has already risen."

"Anyway, we will have many opportunities to watch the sunrise and sunset together in the future. Tell me then."

"Well, but before that, there are still some things that can go smoothly according to my original plan."

"……What do you want to do?"

"That's... this..."

Suzumiya Chisato smiled, interlocked her fingers with Kazusa's, and sealed her prepared lips.

Isshi Caiyu wakes up at around seven in the morning and doesn't leave the house until half past eight. Most of the time she spends choosing clothes and preparing sun protection.

After meeting Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, the three of them took the Shinkansen and arrived at the ocean exhibition, where the scene was already quite lively.

Isshiki and Yuigahama did not seem to be uncomfortable with this kind of occasion and looked around at the places that interested them.

But Yukinoshita sighed silently. She had never expected that there would be so many people at the exhibition, and she just couldn't adapt to crowded places.

Just being there and listening to the noisy sounds everywhere made her feel genuinely tired.

The only thing that comforted her was that she had brought two friends with her today, which she could more or less use as psychological support.

"This exhibition is quite large. Where should we go first?"

Isshi Iroha held the guide map she got from the staff in her hand and asked Yukinoshita Yukino.

"The Marine Ecological Protection Association's field station is in Area D. Anyway, let's go there first to sign the petition against the discharge of polluted water into the sea."

Isshiki and Yuigahama had no objection to the suggestion made by Yukinoshita. After all, this was their main purpose for coming here.

However, as Yukinoshita walked forward with graceful steps to lead the way, the expressions of Isshiki Iroha and Yuigahama Yui gradually became strange.

Isshiki whispered in Yuigahama's ear,

"That... something seems to be wrong. The direction that Yukinoshita-senpai is heading now is the road to Area A, right?"

"Xue-no-chan should have her own ideas. Maybe she wants to buy a drink from a vending machine before entering the venue."

"I see, that's it."

"Well, let's just follow her first."

But, ten minutes later.

The two of them came to a conclusion a little late when they looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was standing in the crowd with a guide map in her hand, looking around rather helplessly.

——Senior Yukinoshita (Koyukino) She is a person with poor sense of direction!

"Yuigahama-senpai, what should we do? How can we give a hint without hurting Yukinoshita-senpai's pride? We are now going further and further away in the opposite direction of District D."

"Iroha, since you are the junior, it would be better if you could give the instructions. Yukino-chan is not the type to get angry when someone points out her wrongdoings, so go ahead and do it without any worries."

"You're so cunning, Yuigahama-senpai! You and Yukinoshita-senpai have such a good relationship, it would definitely be better for you to remind her!"

"No, I always think that Yukino, who has a poor sense of direction, is so cute. I'm worried that if I tell her about this now, I'll burst out laughing, and she'll think I'm making fun of her!"

"I wouldn't think so."

The two of them were so focused on whispering to each other that they didn't notice when Yukinoshita Yukino came over.
