Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

But when did he find out? Was it when time stopped... He actually...

The girl had such a guess.

However, at this time, Oreki added: "Cats are very spiritual animals. If you don't like it, it can clearly sense it. Since it doesn't hate you, it proves that you still like it."

"What the hell is this..."

Sakuraba Jianyue looked disdainful, but took the cat handed to him and held it in his arms.

The boy thought for a moment and said, "I think I need to give her a name. How about Xiaoyue?"

"You want to die?"

Sakuraba saw Yue frowning, and the handsome boy couldn't help but laugh.

"Then you get up."

"It's nice to call you Mumu."

"Eh? Is that a bit offensive?"

"That's it. Don't forget what you promised me."

"Of course, you think I'm like some big lady who says what she says but doesn't follow the rules at all."

"Break! The! Wooden! String!"

"Oh~ Oops, I'm almost late for the last bus. I'm leaving now. We can talk next time if you have anything to say. Bye~"

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, the young man stood among the fallen leaves and waved with a smile. Looking at his clear smile, his handsome face seemed like the dawn on the horizon.

Sakuraba Jianyue had an urge to stop time and brush away the fallen leaves on his shoulders, but unfortunately, he had already used it.

So she could only watch the other person wave with an expressionless face, without saying a polite goodbye.

As the boy's figure gradually disappeared, she looked down at the tiger-striped kitten in her arms.

"I hope you are more obedient than him."

The cat-holding girl turned around and entered the courtyard, and at this time, her cousin Yui Shinkai poked her head out strangely.

"Eh? Sister, why is there an extra cat?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki looked at Shinkai Yui, put the cat down, and then said to the girl.

"I'll give you the game console later."

"what?"

"But you have to keep this cat well."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"has a problem?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!!"

Looking at Yui Shinkai's overjoyed look as she picked up the cat, Sakuraba Kentsuki didn't show much expression.

She just remembered something and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.

"You are the first one who wants to change me."

----

“I’m so sorry, Oreki-kun, for asking you to come over to cover for me today. I really have no choice…”

In the convenience store, Aunt Fujii looked at the boy who had already changed into his work clothes with an apologetic look on her face.

Oreki Gen smiled.

"It's okay. Since the child is sick, go back and take care of him. It's not easy for you either."

“Okay…thank you, Oreki-kun.”

It seemed like there was a little accident in my weekend plan. I was originally planning to go home, comfortably pour a glass of draft cola and watch the newly updated anime, but I unexpectedly received a message from Aunt Fujii that the child at home suddenly fell ill and she had to go back to take care of him, so I was the only one to take over.

The rest of the people seemed to have no time.

Oreki Gen did not refuse. He didn't have anything particularly important to do anyway. The matter with Sakuraba Mizuki had come to an end for the time being, so he was full of energy.

But folding wooden strings got a bit boring after eight o'clock.

It’s really more comfortable to go home and watch anime.

Guarding this shabby convenience store is just like a left-behind woman, waiting for her husband to return. She is almost like a husband-waiting stone.

But soon.

A face that surprised Oreki Gen was revealed in front of him.

After bathing, her long black hair seemed to still have some water stains, she was wearing a light green short-sleeved T-shirt, and she had a pair of straight and slender long legs.

Oreki Gen took a look at Asagiri Ran who suddenly appeared and no longer found it strange.

The other person lives nearby, so even if she doesn't want to see me anymore, as long as she needs some necessities, there is a chance that she will run into me when shopping.

But Oreki Gen didn't make any response, and even his eyes didn't stay on the other person for more than two seconds.

It is best not to provoke this girl who is even more narcissistic than himself if it is not necessary. Moreover, he had just used the eye drops on her before, so Oreki Gen felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, Asagiri Ran didn't pay too much attention to her, she just walked in to buy things.

But there was clearly a strange atmosphere spreading. Perhaps what was even stranger than the two people being weird about each other's meeting was that they were deliberately pretending not to know each other.

Until the other party put a bunch of things on the table, toothbrushes, towels and other items, probably time to replace a batch, and two pieces of chocolate.

Do smart people have a habit of eating sweets?

Oreki Gen didn't think much about it, just shopped normally and gave a price.

The other party paid the money with a cold face as usual. Oreki Gen thought that was the end of it, or at least it seemed that there would be no possibility of any follow-up.

But I didn't expect it.

"Snapped."

He took a piece of chocolate out of the bag and placed it in front of him.

Oreki Gen raised his head and looked at Asagiri Sorrow.

The girl, still cold but with an unnatural look on her face, looked at the entrance of the store.

"This compensation to you is my apology for misunderstanding you before."

"What's the matter?"

The boy's eyes widened.

Because the words that came out of Asagiri Ran's mouth at this time, to Oreki Gen, were like the end of the world.

It's like a farmer telling herself that she has experimented with nuclear fusion.

(The second update today should also be relatively early, and it will be available tomorrow night!!)

64: I only care about you

"Can't you understand people?"

Seeing Oreki Gen's surprised expression, Asagiri Ran looked very unnatural.

That surprising performance only lasted a short time, and he soon returned to his usual hard-to-like state.

Oreki Gen didn't take the chocolate, but looked at the other person.

"I understand it, but I'm not sure it's something you can say."

This sentence made the girl very angry. The meaning was very clear. In Oreki Gen's opinion, she was not someone who could speak softly. To be more direct, she was not someone who could speak "human words".

Oreki continued to smile.

"Besides, what do you have to compensate me for? Did you do something strange to me at some point?"

"Don't think too much!"

The girl's eyes widened slightly.

Her wide eyes look beautiful under her slightly messy bangs.

It's just that she always likes to act in a way that makes people dislike her.

Asagiri Ran turned her head away and lowered her voice, sounding as if she was not really saying what she meant.

"I'm talking about what I said to you after I saw you and Yamada Takashi and the others in the study room that day."

Oreki Gen was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it was that day that Asagiri thought that he was a person who was in cahoots with Yamada Takashi, and that he was not worthy of sympathy because they were in cahoots with each other.

But Oreki Gen was a little curious.

"What do you know?"

Asagiri Ran seemed impatient again, as if being asked questions was one of her troubles.

"Nothing, it's just that Yamada Takashi came to me and told me about your affairs. I'm not interested in those things, and I'm not interested in you either. I just hate apologizing to others."

It seems that this girl has a pretty good moral standard.

Although this is something that many people turn a blind eye to, and most people are good at laughing off their own mistakes and magnifying the mistakes of others.

It is rare for someone to realize their misunderstanding and apologize specially, let alone give a piece of chocolate... Should I say that it is a kind of innocent and cuteness like a child?

After all, at this age, who would compensate in this way?

Hmm? Then what compensation do you want?

Go home and play the wooden fish and fold the wooden strings!

Oreki Gen nodded.

"There's nothing to apologize for. After all, I didn't think of explaining it to you at the time. It's not important, but they and I are not really friends."

"Why are you telling me this?"

Asagiri Ran frowned.

As soon as Oreki Genji saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking.

Suddenly the handsome young man sighed helplessly.

He raised his head to glance at the light, then looked helplessly at Asagiri Ran.

"Asagiri-san, I have to say that you are more narcissistic than me among all the people I have ever met."

"Oreki Gen! Are you sick?"

Suddenly, Asagiri's face turned red. Of course she knew what Oreki Gen meant. He couldn't just turn a blind eye to it! She didn't want to be friends with him, and she wouldn't really say what she thought. Even if he guessed it, couldn't he just turn a blind eye to it?

Oreki Gen shrugged and laughed.

"Because you always look at me as if I have some other intentions, and then say some strange things. I'm too lazy to explain it once or twice, but it will be annoying if it happens again and again, right? Of course, I understand that you may be too wary of men, but you don't have to think that I need to use any means to chat with you and get closer to you."

"Is it because of Sakuraba Mitsuki?"

Suddenly, Asagiri Ran said these words.

Instead, it caught Oreki Gen off guard.

"what?"

How did she know about Sakuraba Mitsuki?

There is no way that the two people can be friends. Their family backgrounds are so different that it is impossible for them to have any connection.

Asagiri snorted disdainfully.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not curious about your personal relationships, it's just that Sakuraba Mizuki is a girl who is more self-righteous than me. Because you ran into me a few times in the study room, she specifically sought me out."

I see...Although it's a bit unexpected, this is indeed something Sakuraba Mizuki would do.

She will have an inexplicable obsession and possessiveness towards the toys she chooses.

Moreover, in terms of appearance and temperament, Asagiri Ran can indeed be compared with Sakuraba Mizuki, and both of them have quite strange personalities.

It should be said that he is an outlier among normal people.
