I just want a single ending

"I wanted to teach you bass, so you don't have to do that."

Nagasaki Suyo's attitude remains firm.

"Ok."

Seeing this, Kamikawa Suku didn't continue arguing with her about this matter.

At worst, I can just make up for it from somewhere else.

···

I took the elevator downstairs with Nagasaki Suyo and walked out of the apartment building.

Shangchuan Su took out his cell phone and suggested to her, "Wait a moment at the door, we'll take a taxi over."

"Eh? Is that store far from us?" Nagasaki Suyo was a little surprised.

“It’s not very far, but it still takes a while to walk there.”

If treating others to a meal fails, then I can only work hard on this kind of thing.

"In that case, let's go over there."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't want him to spend extra money on this.

Even though I know he probably doesn't lack money, there's still no need to waste it like that.

"can."

In just a moment, Kamikawa Su understood what she was thinking.

Come to think of it, isn't Nagasaki Suyo similar to Ijichi Nikka in this respect?

They are all very considerate and habitually considerate of others.

"Then please lead the way."

"no problem."

So, Kamikawa Suzu walked towards the store while chatting with Nagasaki Suyo.

The advantage of walking instead of taking a taxi may be that you can have more time to chat and put band-aids on your fingers again.

Just keep walking until you reach the cafe.

Then, the two of them were stopped by a girl carrying a basket of roses.

"Handsome guy, buy a rose for your girlfriend."

"girlfriend?"

Kamikawa Su glanced sideways at Nagasaki Suze and found that she was not shaken by other people's misunderstanding of their relationship. She just looked at this side calmly.

"Is not it?"

The girl who came to sell roses blinked in confusion.

"Sadly, not really."

Kamikawa Suku didn't want to be misunderstood about this matter.

If the two of them are friends, he wouldn't mind buying one to support the other's business.

But it is absolutely impossible to say that they are a couple.

"Then buy a rose for your sister."

Seeing the two of them about to leave, the girl carrying the rose basket quickly changed her tone.

"elder sister?"

Hearing this word, Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously stopped.

Kamikawa noticed her reaction to the word and asked curiously, "Why do you think we are brother and sister?"

"You are not a couple, nor are you siblings, so why are you walking together so intimately at night?"

The girl carrying the rose basket answered as a matter of course.

"makes sense."

Nagasaki Suyo glanced at Kamikawa Susumu beside her, but did not deny it.

Shangchuan Su narrowed his eyes: "Then why can't we be brother and sister?"

I'm so much taller than Nagasaki Suyo, so it's normal to treat him as my brother, right?

"Your fingers are covered in Band-Aids. I find it hard to believe a brother would do that." The girl holding the rose basket pointed at his hand. "Also, you don't look like a brother. On the contrary, the girl next to you looks more like an older sister."

"...Then I'll buy one."

Regarding this, Kamikawa Suku found it difficult to refute, so he just agreed.

"One thousand yen, thank you for your patronage."

The girl carrying the rose basket took the thousand-yuan bill he handed over with a smile, and at the same time handed a wrapped bright red rose to him.

"Give."

After putting the wallet away, Kamikawa Su handed the rose to Nagasaki Suyo.

"Eh? Are you really going to give it to me?"

Nagasaki Suyo was a little surprised.

"Of course, if I don't want to treat you, it should be okay to give you flowers, right?"

Shangchuan Su nodded and emphasized, "By the way, please don't misunderstand me. Even though this is a rose, it doesn't have that kind of meaning."

After chatting with the flower seller for so long, it would be a shame if I didn't buy anything.

"I know, these are flowers my brother gave to my sister."

Thinking about the conversation just now, Nagasaki Suyo chuckled and took the rose.

"That's fine too."

As long as people don't think he has that kind of idea, Kamikawa Suku doesn't mind being told that.

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly thought of something and asked, "Kamikawa-kun, when is your birthday?"

"August 5th." Kamikawa Suku answered casually.

Nagasaki Suyo seemed very happy: "It seems that I really am your sister."

"When is your birthday?"

"May 27th."

"She's only two months older than me, so how can she really be considered my sister?" Kamikawa Su protested. "We're in the same grade."

"One day older is still older than you."

After saying this, Nagasaki Suyo carefully looked at the rose in her hand.

Are these flowers given by your brother to your sister?

Come to think of it, Kamikawa Susumu really is like a younger brother.

He is gentle and easy-going, and reliable in many things, but he can't take care of himself.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo looked at his fingers again.

That is the best proof.

After all, I can’t let him learn bass by himself.

I really don't know what he will do.

"I have a feeling that you are thinking something bad, Nagasaki-san."

Kamikawa Su noticed her gaze and couldn't help but speculate.

"I just think it would be better for me to teach you bass in the future." Nagasaki Suyo spoke the truth.

"Hasn't this been agreed upon long ago?"

Shangchuan Su turned his head and met her eyes.

"It's indeed already been agreed upon."

Nagasaki Suyo looked down at the roses, which were so bright and tempting.

Chapter 52: Flowers I Want to Give

"You two, we have a couple's set menu here. I highly recommend trying it."

After arriving at the cafe, the waiter enthusiastically recommended Kamikawa Suzu and Nagasaki Motoyo.

"We are not a couple."

Kamikawa Suku, holding the menu, denied her misunderstanding.

"Sorry, I was rude."

The waiter was stunned for a moment when he saw the roses that Nagasaki Suyo placed on the table, and then hurriedly apologized.

"It's ok."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't mind this kind of thing.

I was misunderstood once on the way here just now, but now I'm used to it.

Following Kamikawa Su's recommendation, the waiter left after we placed our order.

"We've been mistaken for a couple again." Kamikawa Suku joked with a smile.

"It's because of this rose." Nagasaki Suyo picked up the rose. "If other people thought we were not a couple, I would definitely not have this flower here."

"That's true. The meaning of the rose is so obvious."

Kamikawa Suku thought the same thing, and asked curiously, "By the way, Nagasaki-san, do you like flowers?"

"I can't say I like it, but I can't say I hate it either."

"I see. I thought you liked flowers."

"Why do you think so?" Nagasaki Suyo didn't quite understand.

Shangchuan Su pointed at the rose in her hand and said, "Because I feel like you care about that rose."

"I do care a little because this is the first time I've received flowers, and the recipient is a boy."

After hearing that he had discovered this fact, Nagasaki Suyo did not hide it but admitted it instead.

"I didn't mean that. I told you that when I gave you the flowers."

Kamikawa Su emphasized this matter again, not wanting to cause himself any unnecessary trouble.

"I know, these are flowers my brother gave to me," Nagasaki Suyo said with a smile, "I will cherish them."

Kamikawa Su said casually, "It's just a rose I bought casually. It's not something you should take seriously."

"……Um."

Nagasaki Suyo's expression became a little lost, but she still maintained a smile.

Just like he said just now, it's just a rose, is there any need to care so much?

Shangchuan Su immediately noticed her change of mood and quickly explained, "What I mean is that even if you treat this rose well, it will wither and die in a few days. That would be a waste of your kindness."

"Instead of that, why don't I give you another flower you can grow?"

"Send me other flowers?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to treat you to a meal as a gift in return for teaching me bass, but you declined," Kamikawa Su said slowly. "Then flowers as a gift should be fine, right?"

"This one……"

Nagasaki Suyo taught him bass without asking for anything in return.

What's more, she doesn't know how to grow flowers.
