He pulled the two of them forward as if he had made up his mind, and also pulled Nako over, who was holding Kabu.

But with these childlike looks, if they stand next to Nako, the three of them look like three elementary school sisters from the same family.

"You three, 98, 99, 01."

Takiichi took a step back. From left to right, the tallest Asuka Saito was also the largest, and the shortest Nako was also the smallest.

Standing side by side like this, it really looks like a descending curve.

"As long as you follow the plan I found for you, it won't be difficult to grow as high as your height limit before your growth disk closes."

Although in Takiichi's impression, among the three people, Saito's final height was only 158, while Hashimoto was 151, and Nako was undecided between 148 and 149.

But due to the butterfly effect and the fact that Nako's current height has grown to 147cm, there is still a faint possibility of continuing to grow, which makes Takichi very confident that everything is possible in science.

Therefore, he did not explain too much. Perhaps he could feel that these three people had a special insistence on height.

It is precisely because of this persistence that from the perspective of a friend, I want to help him to the end.

"Really? You're not lying to us about sports to say such a thing, are you?"

Hashimoto seemed to realize that when Takiichi said this, he did not mean to deceive or flatter at all. Nako's example is very convincing evidence.

"Do you exercise regularly?" Takichi asked in turn.

"No, I rarely exercise. I stay at home during my breaks." The girl blinked cutely, wondering how her short legs could move.

"I'm the same, I stay at home, but I exercise." Taki pointed at himself and added, "In my own room."

"Is that so? Sure enough, Taki-san is a little strange..."

"Me? Why?"

"Staying at home reading, working out, and painting is not what boys like to do nowadays."

"Yeah?"

"Hmm! It's a little strange."

Indeed, there were times when Takiichi thought that this might be the case.

As soon as it's time to take a break, unless it's Momo Bonai or Sakura who tries to trick him out by all means.

I just hide in my room and enjoy the quietness by myself. I don't like playing games. I just dance around the room when I exercise.

This is a very self-disciplined life in the eyes of many girls, but it is not in line with the current thinking of young people.

There was turmoil in Takiichi's heart, but it seemed that no one had ever been able to release the emotion deep inside him.

Sakura has never done it, maybe one day someone like that will appear.

But even so, it's very strange when two girls who hate sports comment on themselves.

Doing this at home is very fulfilling and purposeful, and for a while I felt like my self-awareness was being played with by the other person.

Kabu sat obediently on the ground, wagging his tail and looking up at his master.

At this inexplicable sacred moment, even the Akita dog, which had been noisy before, began to calm down.

Takiichi tried to imagine whether Kabu felt the aura of his return and couldn't wait to come over, even though during this period, it was always curled up in Nako's arms.

It is really not an easy task to find a dog running around at night.

However, compared to finding the trace of Kabu, Takiichi and Nako suddenly appeared in front of them, which seemed to surprise them even more.

"Forget it, anyway, Nako was picked up by me. Although it is a little later than the scheduled time, you can be company tonight."

"It's not just Nako, Mitsuki is here too~" Hashimoto gave Taki a wink.

"Really? Mitsuki is here too." Takiichi grinned, and there was a smile in the corners of his eyes.

"Hey~ So you want to see her? She is in uncle's room with Kimura-senpai."

Suddenly, Takiichi's eyes seemed to be covered by steaming mist, and images from the past flashed through it.

"Onii-chan~~Why are you hiding here and reading again~"

"Misuki... don't run around. If the teacher finds out, you will get scolded again."

"Why don't you like to go out and play, Onii-chan~~"

"Okay, where do you want to go to play today? I'll call Taozi and the others."

"No, just the two of us, okay? I want to go out on a date with Onii-chan."

In my impression, when Takiichi was young, every time Sakura was far away in Tokyo or Kagoshima and could not come here to accompany him.

Feeling lonely due to lack of playmates will never happen to you.

If we really count, the little girl who liked to play dating games with him since elementary school was officially transferred to an international school in Tokyo one day.

There is very little contact between the two, and they only get together for annual birthday parties.

But every time the girl always appears in front of him with a completely new change, in height and appearance.

I am more mature than before, my body is more developed, but the only thing that remains unchanged is my attachment to myself.

Therefore, when facing Takiichi, Momo always fights with her, dances, competes with her legs, and grabs things while eating...

No matter what the ending is, there will always be someone who bursts into tears.

"No...it's better not to see you now."

Takiyi hesitated slightly, smiled and shook his head.

"Nani? Why don't you go and see him?"

"Because my current image is very embarrassing and I need to sort it out."

Looking at the scene of three goddesses that are enough to make Sakura Country otaku fans like them, squatting on the ground and playing happily with Kabu.

Taki stood aside and watched with a smile. When he arrived at home, he had not asked about Kabu.

At this moment, the memory of Kabu seemed to be awakened.

It seems that Sakura is still there in that clip. At that time, she was squatting down like she is now, doing similar movements to Nako.

Takiichi tried to compare the images from the present and the past, but he felt something was not quite right. Perhaps it was a sense of immediacy that he had seen a specific impression before.

Sakura is Sakura, and Nako is Nako. They are independent entities and cannot replace each other's feelings here.

"Takiichi-chan, this is a gift from me... zangzang~~ is an Akita dog. Sakura and I found it on the streets of Tokyo. Can you adopt it?"

"Ah? Okay... what about its name?"

"How about we call him Cub? Cub...cub..."

"Kabu? Did you get the idea from the Honda Cub, a motorcycle that has sold 100 million units? Dogs run on four legs..."

"Kabu runs very fast, and humans can't catch up with him."

"How can a human catch up with a dog? Okay, okay, Kabu is not a bad name either."

Now I think about it, this memory-like thing, after being obscured by a layer of gray clouds, now seems to have been replaced by new things. Its rhythm is so fast that I can't easily catch it.

In the past, Takiichi remembered that Sakura had persuaded him to take Kabu to the hot springs together.

Because she very much hopes that through such behavior, Kabu will accept them and herself more quickly.

However, this idea really seems simple and very willful.

But...in the end, I nodded in agreement. This was against Kagaya's management principles both at the time and now.

"Nako-chan, can we go to the hot springs together?"

Kabu, who was circling around Nako amusedly, Hashimoto Kanna and Saito Asuka stood together with Nako.
