Old street.

After separating from sisters Yuka Gensei, Shiina Kiri and Kobayakawa Kazuki walked side by side on the sidewalk of the old street.

The outsides of the buildings near the commercial section are lined with electronic screens of different heights, playing various advertisements continuously.

The cool light shines on the sycamore trees on the roadside. Due to the uneven skin change on the tree trunks, at first glance it looks like they are mottled and scrawled.

Unlike the talkative people in the past, Kobayakawa Kazuki now seems very silent, and it can even be said that he is deliberately alienated. The two have not spoken since they got off the bus.

After walking through a fork, Shiina Kiri asked proactively, "Are you free after school tomorrow afternoon?"

He seemed very casual when he said this, but once the casualness becomes a little obvious, it will be linked to deliberateness.

Although it is said that if you like someone, you should not blindly show your kindness to them, but you have to control the ups and downs.

In fact, the most important thing is that judging from Kobayakawa Kazuki's behavior of deliberately avoiding him today, if she is allowed to continue to be so embarrassed, maybe another month will pass.

He could afford to wait, but Qingzora couldn't wait.

The mission period is four months, but for that kind of terminal disease, the sooner it can be treated, the better.

"No."

Kobayakawa refused without thinking, his tone sounding very stiff.

That's right, after all, I was forcefully kissed by him at Disney today at noon. Even the most arrogant person will be angry, right?

"Hey, okay. I plan to take the guitar to a musical instrument store for care tomorrow, but it seems I can only go there alone." Shiina Kiri pretended to sigh.

Generally speaking, valuable things require time and energy to maintain, especially musical instruments.

As far as guitars are concerned, the main material for production is wood. In order to avoid drying and cracking, there are even requirements for temperature and humidity during daily storage.

"Maintaining the guitar?" Kobayakawa Kazuki was surprised and finally became interested.

"Yes, after all, I have been playing for more than two months. By the way, when was the last time your friend nursed me?"

Sweat stains are inevitable in the summer, and in order to gain more skill experience points, Shiina Kiri often comes to the old street to play in the evening.

"I don't know, but I probably just nursed him for a while."

Kobayakawa Kazuki curled his lips. In fact, the guitars were all brand new at that time and no one had touched them at all.

"That's right." Shiina Kiri nodded.

The guitar was given to him by a friend of the squad leader on the grounds that he was "mesophobic".

Recently, the squad leader has also "awakened" to the not-so-obvious mysophobia entry, so Shiina Kiri guessed that the guitar might very well belong to the squad leader.

This kind of thing can be guessed more or less from the moment it is confirmed that Kobayakawa Kazuki likes him.

This is not a bloody TV series. Everything has to be slowed down, and there is a "touch" at the end to force sensation.

"Are you still playing the guitar these days?"

"Monitor, have you lost your memory? Didn't I ask you to come to the old street square to play the guitar with me last time?" Shiina Kiri touched her lightly angrily.

It was okay to take Asakura Ne with me in the past, but that day I took Kobayakawa Kazuki with me, and I met several girls who came up to me and asked for their contact information, so he had to give him a good explanation.

Sure enough, adding the "charm" attribute will cause a lot of troubles.

Maybe it has something to do with him being handsome to begin with?

"Don't move your hands or feet." Kobayakawa Kazuki frowned, already quite resistant to physical contact. "I'm asking you, do you usually play?"

"I usually play for a while every day if I'm not busy."

"Haha, I thought someone like you would get tired of it after playing for a month or two."

"What do you mean by someone like me?" Shiina Kiri was speechless.

As sarcastic as ever, this sentence even tastes like a personal attack, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Asking knowingly." Kobayakawa Kazuki glanced at him.

"Who are you going to be with?"

Shiina Kiri. "..."

It turned out to be intentional.

The time has finally come when he has to face his fate. Now he has lost the arrogance of telling the kitten that he wants everything when he first got the blue subtitles.

"What do you think I'm planning?"

"How do I know you?" Kobayakawa Kazuki looked at him with disgust, as if he was looking at a scumbag.

Shiina Kiri was not angry because of this. He was indeed very greedy, and he was very greedy from the beginning.

He looked at the squad leader's sassy little face and said to himself, "Before the fireworks display in Tokyo Bay, Xiao Nai answered my call."

Kobayakawa Kazuki frowned. "?"

Of course she knew about it, but she didn't understand why Shiina Kiri mentioned it at this time.

"She asked me a very confusing question."

"She said, 'If a girl stays with you as a friend for a long time, do you know if you will like her in the future?'"

"Monitor, you were right next to me at that time, right?"

Shiina Kiri looked at Kobayakawa Kazuki, whose expression gradually calmed down, and became more and more sure of her guess.

At that time, he didn't know about Aozora's illness, so although he felt that this question was about Kazuki Kobayakawa, he couldn't be sure.

After all, this behavior of a "girlfriend" helping to find a "girlfriend" seems weird no matter how you look at it.

Looking back now, I understand Aozora's thoughts.

She knew that she would never be able to go to the end with him, so that question was actually asked for her sister.

And the reason why Aozora returned to the line that day was probably because Kazuki Kobayakawa went to see her.

Otherwise, there would be no sequel to the love game between the two, and there would be no fireworks display.

"Shiina Kiri." Kobayakawa Kazuki raised his head and looked at him.

"What?" Shiina Kiri had a bad feeling because Kobayakawa Kazuki called his name.
