Shirakawa Zehei was stunned, as if he had returned to the scene of lying on Tsukimi Sakurazawa's lap when he was in the forest school. At that time and now, except that the object of trouble has changed from the black-hearted lolita to the cute Isshikiha, there is almost nothing

What a change.

He sighed heavily, covered his brows with his palms and said, "There is nothing left to consult... Tsukimi, you can't help me with this matter."

"Who said that? If you don't tell me, how can I know if it will work or not?" Yingyingguai said very dissatisfied: "We are good brothers, Baichuan. Helping friends solve problems is a basic operation."

"But you really can't help me much... This matter is mainly my own problem."

"What, Baichuan, why have you become so coquettish... You were not like this before."

Shirakawa Zeping was silent for a while, then chuckled: "What was I like before?"

"Hey... let me think about it~ You were a bit taciturn at first, very much like a housekeeper... But later I realized that you are just too lazy to talk to people you don't know... You are smart, brave and powerful..."

"..."

"Please change some adjectives."

"Eh? Why, I am complimenting you...Okay, okay, then you are smart and cute, very serious and dedicated in doing things, and willing to tolerate my misbehavior..."

Shirakawa Zeping retorted angrily: "I have never tolerated your misbehavior."

"Look, I also think your arrogant side is cute."

"..."

"I'm not a tsundere!"

"Okay, um, got it."

Shirakawa Zeping: "?"

Is this called heavenly reincarnation?

Just having a brief chat with Tsukimi Sakurazawa, Shirakawazawa's originally troubled and confused mood calmed down a lot. Just like what he got when he dragged his tired body into the calligraphy club activity room in the afternoon of the first year of high school.

The redemption. The fastest updated PC version::/

In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed, and the girl's cheeks are still as bright and lovely, and only his mood has changed.

He remembered what Isshiki Haori Nishiki said when he confessed, with complicated eyes, he asked softly: "Tsukimi?"

"Um?"

"We are good friends."

"Of course, Baichuan, you are going to disown me as your best friend..."

"We...why are we friends?"

Tsukimi Sakurazawa's body froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but stop massaging his hands.

"Shirakawa…?"

"There must be an opportunity." Shirakawa Zehei closed his eyes and did not look at the girl's expression. "No matter what the relationship is, there must be a reason."

"of course."

"What is your opportunity?"

The girl started massaging Shirakawa Zeping's temples again, and said in a relaxed tone: "Well... maybe I think you are very reliable, Shirakawa. You are very suitable to be... a friend."

"No matter who you are, you want to be with someone you can trust."

"sense of security?"

"No." Tsukimi Sakurazawa said angrily: "Shirakawa, what are you talking about? Do I look like that kind of weak girl?"

"That's right." Shirakawa Zeping smiled self-deprecatingly: "Sorry, I'm a little self-righteous."

"Hmph~ This is the first time I've seen such an arrogant Baichuan. You want to buy me something to apologize for."

"good."

"Huh? You're so easy to talk to, why don't you bargain with me?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've been troubling you all this time, in every sense of the word."

"It's too cunning to think of paying off a favor that has been lost for so long with just one treat. You have to treat me twice at least."

"Well, okay."

Shirakawa Zeping stood up from the girl's lap and stretched: "I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. I treat you as my treat tonight."

"Have you cheered up yet?" Yingying weirdly said with a smile, "Then I want to eat something delicious, and I'll choose the location."

"I'm going to change my clothes first."

"Okay, I'll wait for you~"

He said and walked upstairs. The girl sitting on the sofa looked at his back, the look in her eyes gradually became complicated and tangled.

An emotion called uneasiness gradually filled my heart. Together with the conversations I had just had with Shirakawa Zeppei, it lingered in my mind for a long time and could not be dissipated.

It's no problem... Shirakawa's words...

We usually get along like this... Maybe he just got emotional because of other things, just like the last time in the forest school...

It's okay...it's okay...

Even if Shirakawa's state today is very different from usual... As long as it passes, it will be the same as before...

Tsukimi Sakurazawa told herself this in her heart, and then the uneasiness in her eyes gradually dissipated, and she sat there quietly as if nothing had happened, waiting for Shirakawa Zehei to come down from upstairs to accompany her to dinner.

No matter what, it’s time to do something. This was the case just now, and it will be the same next time.

Shirakawa Zehei changed his clothes, washed his face at the sink, looked at himself in the mirror for a while, then exhaled gently, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Sorry, Tsukimi, let's just eat a little tonight." Shirakawa Zehei said as he walked down the stairs, "I'm going somewhere later."

"Eh...? Okay." Tsukimi Sakuraze nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go."

"Where's the little tapestry?"

Shirakawa Zeping paused and said calmly: "She's out."

"Ah? There is such a thing..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa glanced at the sofa next to him, full of questions and didn't know what to say.

Where did Little Brocade go? Her favorite pillow is missing on the sofa... Her slippers at the door seem to be missing too...

Is it possible to hide in the room?

Caught off guard, a strange thought flashed through Tsukimi Sakurazawa's mind...

Shirakawa's strange change...could it be related to Koori Nishiki?

The two of them ate in silence during this meal, each with their own thoughts. Tsukimi Sakurazawa lowered his head, thinking about the whereabouts of Isshiki Haori Nishiki. When the staff serving the dishes saw this, they thought they were quarreling.

A couple was specially presented with a small cake. Unfortunately, Shirakawa Zehei was too preoccupied to notice the owner's intentions.

Not long after, Shirakawa Zehei and Tsukimi Sakurazawa paid their bills and left.

There were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and the classic Christmas melody: "Jingle Bells" was also echoing on the street. Many white-bearded grandfathers were carrying bags to attract popularity for their shops. Shirakawa Zeping saw it.

But I didn’t pay too much attention to this change in the festive atmosphere.

"Can you go back by yourself? Do you want me to take you there?"

"No need, I'm not a child..." Tsukimi Sakuraze bit her lip, seeming to hesitate.

"Shirakawa?"

"What's wrong?"

"You... have an appointment with someone later?"

Shirakawa Zeping shook his head and said: "No, I want to see an elder and ask him something." :(/

"That's it...then Christmas...can we...everyone spend it together?"

"..."

"No way...?"
