Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to control the smile that appeared on her face when she saw a familiar name.
[Zheli: Sushi, I will pick you up from your house tomorrow morning]
"…………call."
It took a while for the slender fingers to land on the phone screen.
[Su Shi: Yes! ! 】
“——What am I doing?!”
Su Shi threw his phone aside and started banging his head.
After a while, she picked up her phone again and glanced at the message interface out of the corner of her eye.
There was a "read" notification next to her message, but there was no new message from the other party.
"..."
Nagasaki Suyo could easily imagine a man staring at the screen in a dimly lit coffee shop, with a look of subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg on his face, unable to type a single word for a long time.
So she decided to put her phone back on the bedside table.
Grab the quilt and cover your face.
“…Wa ...
It wasn't until a wail of shame and anger lingered over Roppongi that the girl's boudoir finally returned to peace...
●
Sunday morning.
What a wonderful word.
When God created the world, he rested on the seventh day. Ordinary people walking in the world naturally need their own rest time.
Even on Sundays, the cafe, Nascita, was open in the afternoons. So, the shop manager, Bao Deng Zheli, stepped out of the shop early in the morning sun, letting the morning air wash away the aroma of coffee beans that had occupied the shop for days before locking the door again.
He stood on the street, looking at the sunlight coming in through the door and floor-to-ceiling windows, with a satisfied smile on his face.
……
Walk away from the quiet alley and into the bustling crowd.
He had always been incompatible with all this, but it was rare for him to be so freely pushed by the waves called human beings.
Following the familiar route, I took a bus all the way to the port area.
It was not until Zheli was staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside Roppongi Station that he suddenly realized that it seemed to be the first time he visited this place in such morning light: the tall buildings in the distance were reflecting the sunlight wantonly, as if intending to completely bake this bustling area and sprinkle a too-glaring tranquility.
He smiled, ignored it, and walked forward humming a tune until he stopped at the bottom of an apartment building.
The half-rolled sleeves revealed the skin. First the slightly cold air took away some of the warmth, and the next moment the warm light warmed it up.
The man couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
What a rare morning.
All that's missing is...
"M-Good morning!"
——A girl in white quietly came into view amidst the sunlight.
The warm spring sun shone from the sky, first adding a luster to her cheeks that was more moist than any foundation, making the light blush appear particularly eye-catching, and then flowing through her carefully combed hair, making her as dazzling as an elf fallen into the mortal world.
But those eyes, clearer than the sunny sky, were shimmering with light, repeatedly beating against the waves of my heart...
The girl held the strap of her backpack tightly and looked around several times, but she couldn't let her eyes stay on the man in front of her.
She stared at the light and shadow on the ground, "Why are you looking at me without saying anything...?"
"I was wondering—"
Baodeng Zheli nodded gently, his expression as satisfied as a scholar who had just derived a key formula:
"Are you too shy to look at me?"
“…Haaaaaa?!”
Nagasaki Suyo's eyes widened, and her little face suddenly turned red like a boiled crab.
"You, you... Humph! I'm angry and I'm ignoring you!"
"Is that so? I'm sorry."
"Forgive you."
Su Shi, who had just turned her head away, turned around again and pouted.
A smile appeared on Zhe Li's face at the right time.
Seeing this smile, Su Shi glanced at him with some resentment, but then she sadly discovered that her heart, which had been so nervous that it seemed to be twitching, gradually calmed down.
He was the same as always. So, I felt relieved.
Just being able to confirm this one thing, the girl couldn't stop the sincere smile on her face...
When Su Shi was feeling embarrassed and annoyed with herself, Zhe Li suddenly stretched out his hand to her and said, "Okay, let's go."
Su Shi first held his hand tightly, took small steps to get closer to him, then raised her head and asked softly:
"'Departure' means... where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?" Zhe Li asked back.
Su Shi blinked, "Huh? Do I decide?"
"Yeah." Zhe Li nodded slowly and smiled: "As compensation for yesterday."
"compensate……"
The girl looked into his eyes intently.
Like stars and the blue sky, her eyes were so beautiful that they seemed unlike those of an ordinary person, and they were gently narrowed; her drooped brows seemed to be completely relaxed, giving the face, which should have been a little hard, an extra gentleness that could almost be described as graceful.
This man always has a smile on his face that makes people feel hazy and illusory.
But for some reason, he lacks that distant loneliness today.
On the contrary——
“W-What do you mean…?”
Su Shi subconsciously clenched the big hand.
"...You didn't really relax at all yesterday, did you?" Zhe Li felt the force in his hand, adjusted his fingers slightly, and gently wrapped the slightly calloused hand in his palm. Then he smiled and said to the girl beside him, "So, I'll lend you today—ah, but only until Nascita opens."
"..."
Zhe Li waited for Su Shi's response, but the girl just looked up at him blankly.
He had no choice but to raise his other hand and wave it in front of Su Shi's eyes, "Hey~ Why aren't you talking?"
So Nagasaki Motoyo blinked—there seemed to be sparkling crystals like water droplets between her long eyelashes.
But when Zhe Li tried to catch that bit of light, she suddenly took a step forward.
——A certain man couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
In the morning sunshine, a girl held his hand and ran towards the rising sun.
That figure was like a fairy isolated from the world, so dazzling that it seemed like a strange object that should not exist in this world, but so rich that it could leave a color unique to her in the light.
"……That,"
The whispers are as sweet as the sound of an oriole.
The girl is letting her long hair fly in the wind and writing a poem about an object.
It was as if she had voluntarily walked out of the dense forest and headed towards the world that belonged to her alone.
And she had a unique smile on her face.
"From now on, I won't let go of this hand!"

"Ah, just leave it there, don't move it."
"No, no! Zheli always likes to throw things around, so he can't find them."
"It doesn't matter. I'll remember it."
"But I can't remember!"
"Ouch! Don't touch there!"
"..."
As soon as I got closer, I could hear a slight commotion coming from inside.
Kaname tilted her head slightly and took a closer look—
The shop door was not closed tightly, and the crack opened and closed with the breeze, making the sound of shoes fluctuate. Through the glass window reflecting the street scene, I could see two people busy at work inside the shop.
So Lenai pulled his small trailer and pushed open the store door.
Jingle Bell……
"Ah, welcome light—"
Nagasaki Suyo was holding a small cardboard box. When she heard the noise at the door, she turned around and smiled gently. When she saw who was coming, she smiled brightly with surprise.
"Hey, it's Lenai-chan. Why are you here?"
"Guitar. Want to play. Together."
Lenai uttered a few words casually, then turned to look at the man who had just stood up at the counter.
"Zheli... is he busy?"
Zhe Li sighed softly: "I wasn't busy originally."
He didn't continue because Su Shi had already put down the cardboard box and walked over with a bright smile on her face.
……
In the end, the two of them didn't visit many places.
Su Shi just took him for a walk in Sun City, eating and drinking, and returned to Nascita after noon.
When Zhe Li expressed his doubts to the girl who seemed to be sitting happily at the counter, she said:
"As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine."
...Then her cheeks immediately turned red, and she picked up her palms and fanned herself.
"And, you can even cook your own food...why waste money out there..."
He kept muttering to himself.
Zhe Li then realized that Su Shi had only sipped on desserts and drinks the entire morning, leaving most of the food in Zhe Li's mouth. He had initially assumed the child simply had no appetite or was simply trying to maintain his figure, but it turned out there was a hidden danger.
Zhe Li clearly said from the beginning that he would treat everyone today, but Su Shi actually wanted to save money for him.
She really made me cry.
……
"Are you looking for Origami to practice with, little Lena? Then go practice first."
Su Shi leaned forward slightly, her eyes level with Le Nai, looked into her eyes and said:
"Anyway, there's still a long time before the store opens, so I can finish the rest by myself—"
"You too, Sushi."
Zhe Li looked at Su Shi's profile and interrupted her.
"You should rest too."
...As soon as he returned to Nascita, Su Shi was busy everywhere with great energy.
First, he arranged the seasoning jars that Zheli usually placed randomly according to type, then he rearranged the positions of the small ornaments in the cafe, and even changed the layout of the tables and chairs in the room. Finally, he even wanted to do something with the kitchen utensils on the counter.
