Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Oreki Gen was so angry that he almost laughed.

You are such a grown-up, why are you acting like a child?

"Manager, why are you still acting like a rogue?"

Kiyono Yuri snorted softly.

"If you hadn't come over suddenly, I wouldn't have drunk so much. You were the one who caused it in the first place, and you left my sister here alone. It's nothing. Go ahead and go to sleep! Don't worry about my life or death!"

"Then I'm going to sleep. Goodbye, Manager."

Oreki Gen actually stood up and walked out into the dark night where it was drizzling.

Qingno Yuri never expected that the other party would actually leave as soon as he said so!

No.

Watch TV by yourself.

Watch short videos.

When girls act like this, shouldn't boys turn around and immediately and carefully comfort themselves?

Why did she just leave like that? Was it because she was no longer a little girl? No, that was not the case.

With my figure, looks, and temperament, there are many men chasing after me... Is this bastard really so straight?

"Oreki Gen, come back!!"

But the boy didn't respond at all. He quickly disappeared into the darkness, and not even his shadow could be seen.

Suddenly, Qingye Yuri sat down on the chair in frustration.

He picked up the bottle angrily.

"Asshole!! How can there be such a person! He just ran away after agreeing to something. Sure enough, all good-looking guys are scumbags!! Aaaaaaahhhh!!"

Kiyono Yuri drank the wine weakly, and kept cursing the young man while being angry.

Then he lay down behind the counter, looking at the wine bottle in front of him, feeling bored.

What's the point of drinking alone?

I don't have so many worries that I need alcohol to resolve.

A lot of times it's just boredom.

But at this time, there was not even anyone to drink with me. No, the other party was not willing to do so!

I'm really doing badly.

"I'm old now. I have no appeal to younger brothers. I'm going to end the game now."

"What weird stuff are you talking about?"

The sudden words made the woman look up in surprise.

Kiyono Yuri stared at the other person blankly. She didn't expect that it was Oreki Gen who came back in a new set of clothes, holding a bag, and even bringing a coat.

He was standing in front of him with his umbrella folded.

She was a little slow to react and looked at the wine in her hand.

Oreki Gen said with amusement.

"Don't worry, it's not an illusion. I went back to get something. How can I just drink without eating anything?"

After saying that, Oreki Xian took out several sealed boxes from the bag.

As soon as you open it, the fragrance wafts out.

Qingye Lily actually found out that they were some hot braised dishes.

"what is this?"

It seems that I haven't tried the Lily of Kiyono, but it looks very similar to some of the snacks in the bar.

Oreki Gen said calmly.

"I occasionally make some cold dishes myself, and this is a good side dish for drinking. Give it a try."

After saying that, Oreki Gen walked to the counter and sat next to Kiyono Yuri.

The rain outside is getting heavier.

The sound of water dripping was obvious, as if it was constantly trying to break the ground.

Kiyono Yuri held the bottle of wine and carefully glanced at the boy next to her.

It seemed that he had taken a special shower.

The fragrance filled the air, and I couldn't tell if it was the shower gel or his own scent.

She just felt a little dizzy.

Could this kind of thing really happen to me?

Why is this boy more gentle than I thought?

Wait, first make yourself angry, and then turn around and move yourself, isn’t this a classic trick of scumbag men?

"Oreki string."

"what?"

The boy turned his head in surprise.

Then he saw Kiyono Yuri staring at him with wide eyes, his face flushed a little.

Is it necessary to drink to this extent? If you can't drink, just don't drink.

Then he heard the other party say.

"You're not going to pick me up, are you?"

"...If you don't want to eat it, I'll take it away."

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ I was just kidding. Oreki-kun is the best~”

"nerve."

Hearing the boy's scolding, Qingno Yuri rarely refuted. She just blushed and secretly took a sip of wine.

Then he looked out into the darkness.

It seems that I am overthinking...

Luckily it's not...

But why not?

74: Ghost! (Additional chapter 15!)

Oreki Gen didn't know what he did that night.

It's nothing more than eating and drinking at the same time.

Then they talked about a lot of things. After drinking, Kiyono Yuri was like a chatterbox. Basically, before Oreki Genji could say anything, she had already told him everything she could say.

Like some interesting things from childhood.

For example, how she made the decision to start her own life after her mother's accident, how many difficulties she encountered, and how much effort she put in.

For example, after owning this small shop, she felt a little confused, as if her life had no goals.

After hearing this, Oreki Gen couldn't offer any comfort or advice.

But it seems that the other party doesn't need it either.

Just needing to find the right person to speak out and then have someone listen seems to be enough.

So Oreki Gen played the role of the listener perfectly, until the woman next to him said that she was thirsty and had no idea how much she had drunk, and then she lay on the cabinet and never got up.

Oreki Gen let out a sigh.

I knew this was going to happen, so I prepared for it in advance.

I had no intention of waking the other person up, and of course I couldn't let Kiyono Yuri just lie there all night and go home by herself.

It’s late anyway.

Oreki Gen put his coat over the woman's shoulders.

Then he began to watch over this night which seemed to have fallen completely silent. Occasionally, one or two customers would come and look at the woman who was breathing on the table with a slightly strange look, but Oreki Gen said nothing, but just skillfully and naturally performed the cashiering and scanning the code.

There was no intention to wake the other person up.

There was basically no one around in the second half of the night. Looking at the woman who was still lying down, occasionally changing to a comfortable position, Oreki Xian felt like laughing.

Who was it that made her take over the torture?

Forget it, there is nothing to blame or complain about. After all, it seems that all the choices in my life so far have come from myself.

Who to blame, or who to seek justice from? None of these exist.

Let it be. Anyway, we have come this far. There is no chance of turning back. Don’t men grow through experience?

Just like the rainy night at this moment, no matter how heavy the rain is.

There will always be dawn, even if it is gloomy, at least there is light.

Even if it's just a tiny, faint light...

"Well..."

Qingye Yuri felt a little dizzy, her hands were a little numb, and her neck was a little painful.

Amidst all the discomfort, she raised her head.

Looking at the convenience store, I smelled alcohol.

what happened?

Memories were constantly being reshaped, and when they returned to her mind, Qingno Yuri remembered what she seemed to have experienced last night.

Drinking and chatting with Oreki Gen...it's like we are friends who can talk about anything.

I seem to have forgotten what I talked about specifically, but it seems like I said everything.

And then... I seemed to have no memory, huh? Did I fall asleep?!

At this time, the sky outside had already brightened, but the rain was still falling. The gray and gloomy sky gave people a slightly depressing feeling, but that was not the most important thing at the moment.

The important thing is.

I was in this situation! I was drunk! I fell asleep here with Oreki?!

Wait, did I fall asleep with him? Or was it me who fell asleep?!

She looked to the side, but didn't see Oreki Gen at all.

The residue on the table seemed to have been cleaned up deliberately, and everything was as if nothing had happened, except for the strong smell of alcohol on my body... Oh no, I must be in a terrible state!

He saw me in such an embarrassing state, and I smelled so bad!

Ahhh! I don't want to live anymore!

But what about others?

Just when Kiyono Yuri was hesitant, a voice came from the lounge at the back. It was the figure of Oreki Gen walking calmly with a schoolbag in his hand.

"Is the store manager awake?"

Qingno Yuri nodded in confusion, watched him come to her, and then looked at her watch.

"Someone will be here to take over in half an hour. I have to go to school, so I'll leave first."

"Hey, wait!"

"what happened?"

Oreki Gen looked at the other person.

Qingno Yuri's face turned a little red and she looked at the boy embarrassedly.
