"...nine-seven, seven bright moons?"

"Hmm."

Kanbaru held the cup of boiled water and glanced at her up and down. Then he looked at the sky behind her, her surroundings and his position.

That's right, this is my hometown.

But——

"Wait, why are you here?!"

"You don't recognize me as your sister, which is commendable." Tianhai Qimingyue's voice was clear, probably because her hair was dyed with snow, her voice was a bit colder than usual.

"No, I want to ask, why are you here?"

"What's so surprising about this?" Tianhai Qimingyue's hair had snow falling on it.

"...According to normal circumstances, you shouldn't be here anyway."

"I'm here to find you." She said.

"Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?"

"Nothing."

"...Nothing is an answer." Shen Yuanle was very confused. He never expected that Qi Mingyue would find this place the day after he returned to his hometown.

"It's so cold outside, why did you come here like this?"

"Hmm."

"Take a flight and transfer to a country bus?"

"Hmm."

Kambaraku looked up and saw it was snowing heavily outside.

It is rare for this level of snow to fall at the end of November.

Taking a country bus on such a cold day.

Tianhai Qimingyue's hair and coat were covered with a thick layer of snow and frost.

Although I was very curious about how she found this place, it was not a problem for Qi Mingyue to stand alone outside. Kambara sighed and moved away:

"Come in first, it's cold outside. I'll get you a glass of hot water."

"Hmm."

Kambara opened the shoe cabinet and found a pair of women's slippers. Tianhai Qimingyue put on the slippers and stepped into the entrance hall.

"Don't you pat the snow on your body?"

"Too lazy to take pictures."

"...How can you be too lazy to take a picture of this thing? Your clothes will get wet if it is melted." Kanbaru said, but he had no intention of helping her.

It was quiet for a few seconds.

Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at him, then lowered her head and gently brushed the snowflakes off her body.

Although grandma's house does not have air conditioning or heating systems, the temperature inside is much more comfortable than outside.

There is also a square kotatsu table in the middle of the living room, surrounded by cotton quilts, and equipped with an electric heater in the middle, where you can put your legs in to keep warm.

Kanbaru sat down at the Tianhai Qimingyue hot table with a pot of boiling water, and poured her a cup of hot water.

"Give."

"Thank you."

Tianhai Qimingyue took it and took a look at the bookcase in the living room of her grandmother's house.

"No need to thank you. Qi Mingyue, you should tell me seriously why you are here. Shouldn't you be in school?"

"I explained just now, I just came here to find you."

Tianhai Qimingyue holds the cup with both hands. Her long hair scattered behind her head and the pure white scarf around her neck make her look bigger than usual.

Kanamehara stared at her eyes:

"From Tokyo to Shikoku Island?"

"I took a flight from Tokyo to Matsuyama City on Shikoku Island, and then took a bus from Matsuyama City to Katsuoka Town, Hayami County, Ehime Prefecture."

Well, you also bring your own corrections.

"Then you sit so far away just to find me?"

"Just to find you."

"..."

The sound in the room was very weak, and the only sound was the cold wind rushing in through the cracks in the window.

The inexplicably cold air made Kagura Raku get up quickly and close the window tightly.

"You have a good relationship with your sister recently." She looked at him sitting in front of her again.

"Yes."

"...Is there anything you want to say?" Tianhai Qimingyue asked after being silent for a while.

Kaname Yuara faced the same eyes and the same beautiful face as Jiuliuli, and her mood became indescribably complicated.

The fact that Qi Mingyue can come here to find him is quite an explanation.

"No."

"..."

"How did Qi Mingyue find this place?"

"Didn't my sister tell you that we knew each other when we were children?"

"But this is my grandma's house."

"Your grandma's house is in the same village as yours. Is it far away?"

This...

Okay, it seems that Qi Mingyue does know.

"Seven Bright Moon——"

"You don't need to say more, I won't give up."

"...I don't mean that, I mean, how do you explain to my mother and uncle why you came here?"

"Just say that I like you, so I chased you here."

"Then we are all doomed."

Tianhai Qimingyue put down the water glass and said calmly: "It might be a good thing for me to make the situation chaotic."

"Uncle, I might stand between me and Jiuliuli."

"It's possible."

"Aren't you afraid that your uncle will forcefully separate you?" Kanbaru couldn't help but ask.

"He can't control my sister in this regard, let alone me."

Oh, my aunt is so domineering.

"But my uncle definitely doesn't want to see his two daughters getting jealous because of a boy."

"Logical."

Kanhara Leyixi: "So...?"

"So I still won't change my mind."

"..."

Okay, isn’t this the same as chatting for a long time without talking about anything!

"Qiming——"

Tianhai Qimingyue interrupted him directly and stared at his reflection in the water glass: "Don't think too much. Although I admit that I like you a little, you are only one of the reasons why I am here this time. You

Don’t be too self-righteous.”

......

Kanwaraku's face was full of confusion: "What? Do you have other purposes for coming to my hometown?"

How strange.

Why do I feel like I suddenly have the idea that Qi Mingyue is deliberately helping me relax my stress?

"Of course." Tianhai Qimingyue took a sip of hot water.

"What?"
