This is not the date I wanted.

"I'm so sorry! Sorry to bother you!!!"

Mengyue New Year (Wednesday)

==============================

"Ah, much better."

After taking a shower, Mengyue walked out of the bathroom with a refreshed look on her face.

"Kotori-chan, Yoshino, I'm done. You can come in now."

"Well, I'll go right away. We just finished our work here."

After hearing what Qin Li said, Meng Yue couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Hmm? What are you doing, Kotori-chan?"

"Ah, Shidou just took out the kotatsu and we just cleaned it."

"Kotatsu?!"

Her eyes suddenly widened, Meng Yue quickened her pace and walked into the living room. Looking at the kotatsu placed in front of the TV, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Ohh ...

"Sister Mengyue, do you have any misunderstandings about Japan?"

Kotori complained speechlessly, sighed with a wry smile, and said,

"Well, the kotatsu is a symbol of the Japanese. I was planning to take it out earlier, but so many things happened that I put it off until now."

"Hey, hey--Kotori-chan, can I use this kotatsu now?"

Seeing Meng Yue's eager look, Qin Li couldn't help but chuckle and nodded.

"Of course, it was taken out only when it was needed. Let's go take a shower first, and you can go in directly, Sister Mengyue."

"Great."

Just as she was about to enter the kotatsu, Meng Yue suddenly paused, looked around, and asked in confusion,

"Come to think of it, why don't you see Shidou?"

"Shidou-san... said he wanted to quickly wash off the dirt on his body... and went to a nearby public bath."

Yoshino replied in a low voice.

"what……"

Hearing this, Meng Yue showed a bitter smile on her face, and felt a little frown in her heart.

(Maybe he was worried about breaking into the bathroom just now, and was afraid that he would be embarrassed when he saw me... Really, he has conquered so many elves, but he is still as innocent as a virgin who has never touched a girl. In a sense, this is also a talent.)

"Speaking of which, Meng Yue-chan, Shidao-kun was in a hurry when he left, and his face was red. Don't you think he had some kind of perverted incident with someone?"

"Who knows?"

Mengyue answered Shionai's question in a leisurely tone, took a bowl of tangerines and placed it on the table, put the cushion on the ground, sat down, and put her feet in the kotatsu.

“Oh~~~~”

Meng Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Not good, this kotatsu might be more dangerous than I thought.

——————————————I am the dividing line for shifting perspective————————————————

"what--"

Itsuka Shido couldn't help but let out a long, melancholy sigh.

"What on earth am I doing..."

Just now in the public bathhouse, Shidao was poured with several basins of cold water in succession amid the surprised gazes of others, and then he soaked in the bathtub foolishly for half an hour. Finally, when he was blown by the cold wind on the road, Gokawa Shidao finally calmed down completely.

"What expression should I use when facing Mengyue next..."

Shidou said to himself with a bitter face.

As long as I think about it a little, the scene of Mengyue bathing at that time will clearly appear in my mind.

To be honest, strictly speaking, Shidao did not see any scenes that were inappropriate for children or indecent. There was fog in the bathroom at the time, and the bath water in the bathtub was added with dark bath additives, and Mengyue was almost completely soaked in the bathtub.

So, at that time, Shidao only saw the part above Mengyue's shoulders.

For example, the long brown hair that was tied up and the ends of the hair that were stuck to the forehead were soaked.

In the mist, the pair of bright and moist tea-colored eyes seemed to be able to speak, loose yet a little blurry.

Those soft cherry lips with a fragrant orchid scent and a delicate color.

That attractive neck, as pink and smooth as white jade.

The extremely sexy water drop has slowly flowed into the bathtub along the crystal clavicle curve.

……

…………

………………

I withdraw my preface! It's erotic! It's too erotic! It's simply a foul, coach!

It would have been better if I didn't think about it. Once I thought about it, Meng Yue's words at that time echoed in my mind like a magic sound.

[Come in.]

"—!"

Shidou felt his cheeks, which had finally cooled down, suddenly became hot again.

"…At least you should be on guard a little bit."

Covering his face with his hands, Shidou, who was reaching the point of overthrowing his limit, began to blame Mengyue.

Although it was her fault, Meng Yue also had the responsibility for not locking the locker room at that time. Although maybe because she was a man in her previous life, she didn't care about Shidou's appearance, but at least she should understand that she was still a high school student in adolescence. If she had said that at that moment a step later, Shidou would not have been able to maintain his rational confidence.

Moreover, not only did Shidou see Mengyue, but Mengyue also saw Shidou naked at that time.

If it was Tohka, she might just shyly and awkwardly avoid Shidou for a while, but with Mengyue, Shidou knew clearly that Mengyue was a male in his previous life.

Although it seems unlikely, if Meng Yue looks at me and sneers disdainfully after I get home...

You will definitely be hit so hard that you won’t be able to stand up!

"Ah...this is so embarrassing."

Shidou was sure that if he were to meet Mengyue now, his expression would be as subtle as possible - in every sense of the word.

However, before Shidou could figure out how to face Mengyue, his feet walked to his own door without his knowledge.

…I just walked into my own house. What am I so nervous about! ?

After hesitating for a moment, Shidao cursed himself speechlessly, pinched his thigh, and opened the door in one go.

……

"——Ham. Shidou... welcome back."

In the living room of the Gokawa family, Mengyue was curled up in the kotatsu, wrapped in a blanket, with her face lazily resting on the table, watching the manzai program on TV while breaking an orange to eat.

"..."

"Ah... Speaking of which, the show I want to watch is about to start. Remote control~ Remote control~"

Under Shidou's silent gaze, Mengyue was seen lying on her back on the freshly cleaned floor. She turned over lazily and reached out to the remote control about one and a half meters away from her.

"Eh? I can't get it..."

Seeing that the remote control was less than ten centimeters away from her hand, Meng Yue frowned slightly, and stretched out her arm in disbelief, trying to shorten the distance between her and the remote control.

However, things did not go as planned. The distance of just two centimeters seemed like an insurmountable chasm, out of reach.

Of course, if Meng Yue chose to walk out of the kotatsu at this time, taking a remote control would be just a small matter. However, this option did not seem to occur to her mind at this time.

"Ah... I give up."

Dropping his arms limply, Meng Yue sat back down and took a bite of the tangerine with relish.

"Shidou, please bring me the remote control."

"..."

Shidou wordlessly picked up the remote control and placed it on the table above the kotatsu.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

After nodding in response, Shidou quietly left the living room in order not to disturb Mengyue.

"What on earth was I worrying about before..."

Returning to his room, Shidou lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and muttered in a tone of doubt about life.

"What a waste of emotion..."

Dream Moon New Year (Four)

==============================

After turning off the TV, just as Mengyue was curled up in the kotatsu playing mobile games, the sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance.

"The sky is shaking, the earth is trembling, and the wind is dancing among the people. Be thankful! The Son of the Hurricane has appeared!"

After a burst of hurried footsteps, the girl in the late stage of chuunibyou - Yamayakuya rushed into the living room. She waved her hand, struck a pose that she thought was very handsome, and raised the corners of her mouth with a self-satisfied look.

"..."

"Hey! Fellow countrymen! Do not ignore me."

Seeing Mengyue playing with her phone without paying any attention, Yejushi slammed the table and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"I ignored you because I didn't know how to respond. Can't you just say hello normally?"

Sighing helplessly, Meng Yue put down her phone and said.

"Explain. Yakuya is working hard to build his own personality. If he doesn't, he'll be too ordinary and have no sense of existence."

Walking slowly into the living room, Xixian answered in a light tone.

"That's not the case!"

Yakushi denied hastily.

"Oh, it is."

Meng Yue couldn't help but realize.

"Mengyue, don't agree with it without permission!"

"Yes. When Yakushiya gets nervous, his mannerisms change."

"Well……"

After being pointed out directly by Yui, Yakuya was obviously a little shaken. He coughed twice awkwardly, covered half of his cheek with his right hand, and spoke perfunctorily with a wild laugh.

“Hahahahahaha – this is ridiculous. It’s really ridiculous. You were fooled by the simple trick of the Double Mask and began to doubt my great dark power. You have been corroded by the rotten air of the world. I feel heartbroken for you from the bottom of my heart, my half and compatriots.”

"Would you like some citrus?"

Mengyue picked up an orange and handed it to Xixian.

"Thank you. Xixian will accept it without hesitation."

"Listen carefully to what I say!!!"

Yakushi couldn't help but yelled in anger.

"Apologize. This orange is for you. Please don't be angry, Yakushi."

As she spoke, Xixian tore open the orange peel and handed the flesh inside to Yakushi's mouth.

"what--"
