A small mistake made the girls around her wonder what happened to Arisa.

"Um, Are you okay, Arisa?"

"You don't look like you're in good shape today."

In the blink of an eye, a group of girls gathered around her, asking about her well-being, making Arisa not know how to deal with them for a moment.

After a long while, Arisa, using the excuse of taking a break, squeezed out from among the group of girls with some difficulty.

She sat down next to Xi Mio and asked as expected.

"Mio, why did it take you so long to come to the gym today?"

"Ah? Well... the weather is a bit cold after all. If you want to change clothes in the toilet cubicle, you need to be mentally prepared."

Although he didn't know whether Arisa would believe him, since the devil's tail was not wrapped around his neck, it was worth a try.

After hearing what Xi Mio said, the girl's wine-red eyes stared straight at Xi Mio's fair face.

Xi Mio, who felt inexplicably guilty when she stared at him, resisted the urge to look away. His light blue eyes met the girl's, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

After a while.

Feeling that there was nothing strange about him, Arisa withdrew her gaze and spoke quietly.

"After the club activities are over, let's go to the pedestrian street in front of the station and buy something to eat."

"Okay~"

Afterwards, Arisa went back to the basketball court and continued practicing, leaving only Shi Mio sitting alone on the bench, with her head lowered, thinking about something.

By the end of the club activity, Arisa, who was not sweating at all, simply picked up her clothes and put them on, and that was it.

As soon as the two walked out of the gymnasium, the cold wind blowing in their faces made them shiver.

"It's so cold."

"How about I return the scarf to you, Xiao Mio?"

After saying that, Arisa pretended to take off the scarf from her neck and hand it to Xi Mio, but the boy quickly stopped her.

"No need! It's just that the gymnasium has heating on, and the contrast between hot and cold is a bit too big for me to get used to."

It was the same lame excuse as before. Listening to him trying to explain, Arisa just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Her warm little hand silently took Ximiao's hand, and the two of them walked in the thick snow, carrying their schoolbags, towards the school gate.

In the corridor between the teaching buildings not far away, a figure in an ill-fitting school uniform was silently watching the young couple walking on the road holding hands.

Just as Hiro said, it seemed that Arisa didn't care about her at all.

Hanako took a huge risk and confirmed it personally, and finally she felt relieved.

It's not that she didn't believe what Xi Mio said, but after all, he and Alisa were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and she couldn't rule out the possibility that she, as a military advisor, would be abandoned by this couple.

On the other hand, Mio, who had no idea what Ms. Hanako was thinking about, successfully got on the train back to the apartment with Alisa.

Because the school dismissal time was almost the same as the evening rush hour, the two of them were not as lucky as yesterday to find a seat to sit down.

Next to the door of the train, Xi Mio was leaning against the door, with the oppressive bear of Alisa in front of her, ready to burst out.

Even though he was very careful, the shaking caused by the train's occasional turns still made Xi Mio experience what intermittent suffocation felt like.

The orange-like scent of the girl's perfume also filled her nose, causing Xi Mio to blush a little. She didn't know where to look.

I could only pray silently that the train would arrive at the station as soon as possible so that he could escape from his suffering.

however.

But the girl standing in front of him didn't think so.

Arisa suddenly leaned close to his ear and said softly in a voice that only he could hear, "Mio~ Come to think of it, it's been a while since we last did that, right?"

"…So what?"

When Xi Mio heard Arisa talking about this, she immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.

But he still responded with forced calmness so as not to reveal his uneasy mood.

Before he could hear Arisa's answer, he felt a small, soft hand quietly reaching to his lower back, and then exerting force suddenly.

Xi Mio was held in the arms of Arisa. The softness in front of him instantly made his brain crash and he was at a loss.

Then, he discovered that the girl's delicate hands had already invaded his territory. Her unscrupulous look seemed as if she had won him. Xi Mio did not dare to resist in the train carriage.

Every time I'm in the train, it's like this...

Gradually, Xi Mio's body softened and she lost her strength. She just snuggled in Arisa's arms, her light blue eyes becoming a little blurred.

"Do you want to continue?"

Arisa asked with a smirk.

"……continue."

Chapter 45: Cultural Festival

As some time passed after the start of school, the weather gradually became warmer and the snow on the streets melted.

I saw Mio and Alisa coming to school by train as usual. The warm weather allowed them to wear short-sleeved shirts, and they no longer needed to wrap themselves up like dumplings as before.

Fortunately, since that day, Arisa never mentioned the matter of Miss Hanako, and Shimiao was relieved.

It was not until class time that the teacher mentioned at the podium that the school would be preparing for a cultural festival in the next period of time.

The classroom, which was originally lifeless because of the early morning rush, suddenly became noisy and everyone became excited. Even the drowsy Arisa became interested.

"Huh? Cultural festival?"

"Miao, when you were in junior high school, didn't your school hold this?"

Hearing that Xi Mio seemed a little surprised, Alisa couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's a rural area after all. It's good enough to hold a sports meet. If we really want to hold a cultural festival, I guess not many people will go back to watch it."

Xi Mio said this with regret, and took the cultural festival flyer passed to her by the classmate in front of her and began to read it with relish.

So much so that when the teacher was at the podium asking a group of students for their opinions on what activities to hold for the cultural festival, Xi Mio didn't listen.

Arisa was very excited and said she wanted to open a theme cafe, so the teacher wrote this proposal on the blackboard.

All that remains is to wait for a full vote and for the minority to follow the majority to make the decision.

a long time.

During the break, Xi Mio realized that while he was not paying attention, the whole class had unanimously agreed to set up a themed cafe.

As for what the theme was, he had no idea, but he had a bad feeling that Arisa had prepared some surprise and was waiting for him.

I saw that Arisa had left her seat and went to the side to talk with a few girls and class committee members about what to prepare and the general plan.

Xi Mio, who was in charge of slacking off, saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he stood up from his seat and planned to go to the store to buy something to drink.

For some reason, he always felt thirsty recently. Fortunately, there was orange juice for sale at the canteen.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the classroom, he saw people from various classes in the corridor, discussing the cultural festival enthusiastically.

This made Xi Mio feel a little out of place, so she had to lower her head and walk quickly through the crowd.

After a while, he arrived in front of the canteen under the teaching building.

Even though it's not lunch time yet, there are crowds of people here. You can see that the auntie in the store is so busy that her head hurts. If the air conditioner wasn't on, she would definitely be sweating profusely.

After sighing for a moment, Xi Mio joined the crowded crowd. God knows how hard it would be for him to squeeze through others with his height.

It only took the time to buy two bottles of orange juice for Ximiao to run out from the crowd. She breathed a sigh of relief, silently took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Huh~ Why does it feel like this is even more tiring than fighting Arisa for 300 rounds."

However, he successfully bought the orange juice. Seeing that it was almost time for class, he walked towards the classroom without looking back.

however.

"Ah? Xi Mio, why are you here?"

After hearing this familiar voice, Xi Mio turned her head suddenly and saw Miss Hanako who also came to the store to buy things, holding a bag in her hand.

It was filled with snacks, which looked like her food reserves for the next few days, Xi Mio couldn't help but think so.

"What a coincidence, Miss Hanako, are you here to buy snacks for the next few days?"

Retracting his wandering thoughts, he greeted his military advisor with a smile, but his eyes kept glancing at the bag of snacks in her hand.

As if she had noticed the boy's strange look, Hanako quickly put out her hand to block her snacks, and then spoke seriously.

"No matter how greedy you are, I won't share my food with you! This is the money I earned from playing games as a game booster!"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Miss Hanako's snacks. I'm just a little curious. Did you eat this as a meal?"

If it weren't for Miss Hanako's slightly plump figure, and the over-the-knee socks even leaving a shallow mark on her fair thighs, he would have really thought that Miss Hanako was malnourished because of eating snacks as meals for a long time.

After hearing Xi Mio's doubts, she was a little arrogant, patted her chest and said confidently.

"I'm a ghost. Ghosts don't need to eat. I just want to satisfy the desire of my tongue and taste something."

"Eh--"

This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. He had to admit, it sounded pretty impressive. At least, it saved a lot of money on meals.

With the mentality that since they had met, they could walk together and chat for a while, Hanako asked about how Nozomi was getting along with Hoka and Arisa recently.

After all, the boy always came to visit her with desserts from time to time, so as a military advisor, she had to fulfill her duties as a military advisor.

But what neither of them expected was...

"Who is that girl?"

"I'm not sure. I don't know which class he is from. Why does he seem so close to Hiro? How about we go tell Arisa?"

Just behind them, several girls who were in the same class as Xi Mio noticed him and Miss Hanako walking together, and they couldn't help but start discussing it.

However, their idea of ​​reporting to Arisa was soon dispelled by another girl who had clearer thinking.

"Have you forgotten the last time someone reported to Arisa, and in the end, it was just a misunderstanding?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls who were still chattering and discussing what to do suddenly fell silent.

The girl continued, "Let's follow them and see. If they don't do anything out of the ordinary, it means that they are just ordinary acquaintances walking together. We just misunderstood."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received unanimous approval from the other girls.

Just like that, without Xi Mio and Miss Hanako knowing, a group of girls appeared behind them, following them secretly.

Fortunately, the communication between Xi Mio and Miss Hanako is really as simple as just talking.

Until Xi Mio separated from Hanako, he returned to the classroom with two bottles of still-cold orange juice and did not do anything strange with Hanako.

This couldn't help but make the girls who were planning to eat melons feel a little disappointed.

"What? It turns out that we are just friends who we met by chance. I thought that Nozomi-san would not talk to other girls except Arisa."

If Xi Mio heard the stereotypes these girls had about her, she would probably have a serious argument with them.

"No, we can't just go back like this! Let's go see which class that girl is from!"

They did what they said. They followed Hanako all the way to the toilet, and then watched her walk into the men's toilet.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering if they had seen something wrong.

However, this is none of Xi Mio's business. Miss Hanako doesn't need to communicate with other people anyway.

As for the consequences, a new school ghost story about the toilet appeared on the school’s social media platform.

the other side.

Xi Mio returned to the classroom carrying two bottles of cold orange juice. She saw that Alisa had finished chatting with others and returned to her seat.

Somehow, a strange idea suddenly came into his mind.

He walked around behind the girl, picked up one of the bottles of orange juice, and when Arisa wasn't paying attention, he put the cold bottle against the girl's cheek.
