Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Oreki Gen: [But it will be hard to complete this task if we don’t meet in person.]

Asagiri Ran: [Then let’s talk about it when we meet at school. ]

Oreki Gen: [Oh, that's a shame... I'll give you the 20,000 yen when we get to school. I hope I still remember it and I hope I won't lose it.]

Asagiri Ran: [...Have you gone upstairs? I opened the door.]

Oreki Gen walked towards the door that was already opened a crack.

The moment he opened the door, he was almost frightened to death.

Because Asagiri Ran was not in the room, but was standing directly behind the door.

She was wearing a long hooded sweatshirt with a zipper, which completely concealed her flat figure. However, her beautiful legs, which Oreki Ken called the best, were clearly visible, and the sweatshirt even made her lower body disappear.

In other words, you can't see the pants, it's like you're not wearing anything underneath.

Her legs were straight and slender, her knees were slightly red, and her skin was delicate without any flaws. However, she had no jade feet, only a pair of furry pink bear slippers.

She really has a girlish heart.

At this moment, Asagiri Ran was wearing a pair of round-frame glasses on her small but straight nose. Her delicate face was not overshadowed by the glasses, but instead added a kind of confused cuteness.

The ponytail was not tight or tight, and the ends of the hair fell loosely on the shoulders.

She noticed Oreki Gen's look from bottom to top and immediately frowned.

"Does your courtesy mean looking at people from their legs first?"

Oreki Gen raised his head and responded calmly.

"My courtesy is to look at the best part of the other person."

The girl's cold cheeks showed a slight flush of blood.

"rogue..."

After saying that, she reached out her hand towards Oreki Gen.

The small palm has slender fingers despite such proportions. They are not fleshy at all, but very beautiful, like a work of art playing the piano.

Then Oreki Gen put his hand on it.

Asagiri Ran was stunned, feeling the sudden warmth of the boy on her palm.

She looked up at Oreki Gen.

The boy also looked at her and blinked.

Asagiri's face turned red instantly.

"Snapped!"

She just hit Oreki Gen on the back of his hand.

Oreki Gen immediately withdrew his hand.

"You win, keep going."

Put it back again.

Asagiri Ran looked at the handsome boy with displeasure.

"Are you sick? I won, what are you doing?!"

Oreki looked at him strangely: "Aren't you going to play the game of slapping the back of your hand when you stretch out your hand?"

"I'm kidding you! I'm asking you to give me the money!"

Asagiri Ranren was almost fainted from anger on the spot.

She was not stupid, and of course she knew that Oreki Gen couldn't really think he was playing a game, he was just teasing her on purpose.

Still as annoying as ever.

Oreki Gen smiled.

"You're just going to let me give it to you like this?"

"if not?"

"I came all the way here to bring you money, shouldn't you treat me to a cup of tea?"

"No tea!"

"Water will do, too."

"No water either!"

Isn't it said that girls are made of water? How can there be no water?

Of course it’s impossible to say this, just keep it in your heart.

Oreki Gen looked at the other person with pity.

"Forget it, I'll give it to you when you have water."

"...Damn it, come in!"

Asagiri Ran said this helplessly, turned around and walked into the living room.

Oreki Xian closed the door and followed the other person in. The other person's room was no different from the last time he came. There were no extra things, and it was not more messy.

There was a faint scent of her in the air.

Asagiri Ran didn't have the habit of using perfume, so the boy couldn't describe it accurately. How should he put it? It was like the only flower blooming in a glacier that hadn't melted for thousands of years.

Oreki Gen sat on the sofa, looking very natural, without any awareness of being a guest.

Asagiri Ran was too lazy to say anything about the other person's behavior. She took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and placed it in front of Oreki Gen.

"Drink."

Oreki Gen took out the envelope containing 20,000 yen from his schoolbag and placed it on the table, then took the water, opened it and took a sip.

I watched as Asagiri Ran took the envelope with a somewhat nervous look and glanced at Oreki Gen.

"you have seen?"

Oreki Gen nodded.

"Otherwise how would I know it was money?"

Asagiri frowned slightly: "Hurry up and leave after you finish drinking."

However, Oreki Gen had no intention of leaving now, but looked at the other party curiously.

"By the way, why did Yukino-senpai give you money?"

Asagiri Ran sat on a separate sofa at the side with a bad look on her face. She picked up the pillow skillfully and crossed her long legs.

"Why are you asking this? It's my business."

"Oh, so it seems that she lent it to you. Are you in great need of money?"

Asagiri turned her head away.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Seeing the familiar tone and attitude, Oreki Gen didn't hold out much hope. He calmly took out money from his pocket, counted out another ten thousand yen and put it on the table.

Asagiri looked at him.

"what do you mean?"

Oreki Gen said as a matter of course.

"After all, we are classmates in the same club, and you said we are friends. If a friend is in trouble, isn't it normal to help him?"

Asagiri Ran was stunned for a moment, then turned her face away as if in anger.

"I don't want your money, and I can't pay it back for a while. I don't want to owe you a favor."

But you can see that his tone has softened a lot.

Oreki Gen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not short of money lately anyway."

Asagiri Ran suddenly remembered something and said to Oreki Gen with an awkward look on her face.

"I almost forgot. How can you be short of money when you're hooking up with a top rich woman? But I don't want to borrow her money even more. Humph."

Oreki Gen almost laughed out loud at the other person's awkward expression.

Try hard to hold it in and then speak.

"Don't worry, I haven't used a penny of her money so far. This money was not given to me by her. I earned it by working part-time, so I am still your creditor."

Asagiri Ran looked at the boy strangely.

"why?"

Oreki Gen blinked.

"No reason. I'm not with her for money. If it was for money, we would have been together a long time ago and wouldn't have waited until now. At least I should have some dignity as a man in your eyes, right?"

Asagiri Ran wanted to say, if you have a bit of manly dignity, why would you be with her? But she felt that it would be too strange for her to say that.

So she held back the words, then lowered her head slightly and hugged the pillow again.

"No, 20,000 yen is just enough. I don't need more money. It feels bad to be in debt."

After learning a little about the other party's life experience, Oreki Gen understood the meaning of this sentence. She had a gambler father since she was a child, and the word she heard most often was "pay back", so owing debts would definitely be a choice she would make when the other party was extremely unwilling.

Oreki Gen said regretfully.

"It's a bit regrettable. I also want to know what it feels like to be your creditor. By the way, why are you short of money?"

As he spoke, he quickly collected the 10,000 yen on the table.

Asagiri Ran felt a little angry and amused when she saw the other party's quick movements.

But at this time she seemed to have forgotten what had happened, and she answered softly.

"Nothing, just the telescope is broken."

"Telescope...ah, is that the prize?"

When we were doing the training camp, one of the final prizes we won by tearing off the name tags together was a small astronomical telescope and a badge. I still treasure the commemorative badge in my apartment.

Chao Wu Ran nodded and said helplessly: "I bumped into it when I got up to drink water that night. I didn't expect it to be so fragile. It broke directly..."

Oreki looked at the girl who looked visibly distressed and thus looked a little cute like a miser and said, "The more sophisticated the instrument, the more likely it is to have problems... but if it's broken, it's broken. Just leave it there and fix it later. Why do you have to fix it now?"

"What do you care about me..."

She hummed softly.

Oreki Gen thought about it, then looked at the other person in disbelief.

"You don't use it every day, do you?"

After asking this question, Asagiri Ran suddenly raised her head, and Oreki Gen felt that he could hear the other person's heart skip a beat.

It's so much fun to see through someone's mind.

Especially with this girl, it was fulfilling and fun.

After being exposed on the spot, Asagiri Ran didn't want to lie anymore, so she became slightly angry and embarrassed.

"It's a prize after all, and why keep the telescope if you don't want to use it! The sky is so blurry at night when the cherry blossoms are blooming, you can't see them clearly without a telescope..."

His voice became quieter and quieter as he spoke, and he seemed to be mumbling something, but I couldn't hear it clearly at all.

Anyway, her face was getting redder and redder, and she was hugging the pillow tighter and tighter. If there was a hole here, she should be able to crawl into it right there.

Oreki Gen looked at the other person with a smile.

"Do you like looking at the stars so much that you have to look at them every night?"

"No! It's just that it's broken and left there, which is disgusting. As long as I think about the fact that we are together..."

She stopped talking here, looked at Oreki Gen with a red face, and then quickly turned her head away.

Oreki Gen felt that he should already know what the other party had not finished saying.

My originally calm mood seemed like a broken pendulum that started swinging again.

The shaking sound is very clear in my mind.
