"Ibuki-san, I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

Seeing the divine girl standing under the dim street light, with a pair of soft little hands folded behind her back, and then calmly looking at her shadow stretched by the street light, Kiritani Tetsuya stretched out his hand to say hello.

Hearing Kiritani Tetsuya's voice coming from a few meters away, the godly girl standing there raised her beautiful face, nodded slightly and responded.

"Good evening, Kiritani-san. Actually, I just arrived."

After saying this, Ibuki Tamao slowly walked towards Kiritani Tetsuya, and handed the apartment key he took out of his pocket to Kiritani Tetsuya.

"This is the key that Kiritani-san asked me to bring," Ibuki Tamao whispered.

"Thank you so much for bothering you to come over in person."

Seeing that what Ibuki Tamao was holding in her little hand was indeed the bunch of keys he had given to the girl last week, Kiritani Tetsuya said gratefully and reached for his apartment key, only to find that the girl's little hand suddenly tightened.

It seems that he is not allowed to take it back.

"?"

Kiritani Tetsuya glanced at the other party with a slightly confused look, and Ibuki Tamao immediately released his palm, watching with a bit of reluctance as Kiritani Tetsuya took away the key to the apartment.

"Kiritani-san, can I go upstairs with you and take a look? I just remembered that I still had some things on top that I didn't take away."

Watching Kiritani Tetsuya put the key back into his pocket, Ibuki Tamao then spoke.

"That's not a problem. It just so happens that I have a lot to say to you."

Kiritani Tetsuya shrugged indifferently and said.

"Is it about Utsunomiya-san?"

Ibuki Tamao guessed what Kiritani Tetsuya was thinking in just one second.

"Yes, let's wait until we go upstairs to talk."

Kiritani Tetsuya nodded, not surprised that Ibuki Tamao could guess it.

After a brief conversation downstairs, the two walked into the apartment, which was dozens of floors high, and took the elevator to the top floor.

As soon as he walked in the door, Kiritani Tetsuya saw a huge black shadow running towards him, and then jumped directly onto his chest.

"Nuomi, why are you still as clingy as before? Let me see if you have lost weight."

Touching the head of the autumn dog named Nuomi at the dark entrance, Tetsuya Kiritani suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy at home, and he smiled at the corners of his mouth.

But what he didn't expect was that the orange autumn dog that just ran into his arms smelled Kiritani Tetsuya's scent, seemed to be disappointed, and then broke away from Kiritani Tetsuya's hands with a look of disgust, and

He walked directly around him and repeated the running posture before arriving at the feet of Ibuki Tamao who was standing behind Kiritani Tetsuya.

"Gouzi, you have changed."

Turning his head to see Nuomi, who was originally extremely clinging to him, now squatting in front of Ibuki Tamao and sticking out his slightly slender tongue, Kiritani Tetsuya couldn't help but look down at this oblivious autumn dog.

"Kiritani-kun, why bother with a cute puppy?"

She bent down slightly and touched the glutinous rice that was wagging her tail and sticking out her tongue a few times. Ibuki Tamao said in a calm tone.

"Yes, actually, I have to thank Ibuki-san for helping me feed this guy these days."

Kiritani Tetsuya immediately replied aloud, and at the same time stretched out his finger to turn on the light on the side, turning on all the lights in the hallway and living room.

At this moment, the entire spacious and luxurious apartment suddenly became brighter, and a familiar feeling of home came to his face, causing Kiritani Tetsuya to subconsciously look at the layout and changes around him.

Although I haven't been back here for nearly a week, everything in the apartment has almost remained as it was before I last left. Even the dust has not accumulated much, and everything still looks familiar.

While Kiritani Tetsuya stood in the middle of the living room and looked around, Ibuki Tamao walked skillfully to the kitchen, then took out a cup and a black tea bag and returned to the living room.

Next, the godly girl made a cup of steaming black tea using the hot water supplied 24 hours a day in the water dispenser, placed it in front of Kiritani Tetsuya who was just sitting on the sofa, and said softly:

"Kiritani-san, please drink."

"Thanks."

Seeing Ibuki Tamao reaching for the black tea on the table in front of him, Kiritani Tetsuya naturally picked it up and took a sip, and then he felt something was wrong and said.

"By the way, shouldn't I be the one to do this kind of thing? It feels like you are so skilled at doing it."

Kiritani Tetsuya gave the other party a strange look.

In his impression, his black tea seemed to be placed in the top cabinet of the kitchen, and there was a rice vat to cover it. How did the girl find it?

"I'm sorry, I've gradually gotten used to staying here during this period, so when I saw you coming in, I couldn't help but want to make you a cup of black tea."

"You treat me as a guest, right?"

Kiritani Tetsuya complained a little helplessly.

"Kiritani-san, now can you tell me what happened to you and Utsunomiya-san during this time."

At this time, Ibuki Tamao had already sat on the sofa next to him, skillfully removing the pleated skirt tucked into her thighs and the surface of the sofa with her hands, and then looked at Kiritani Tetsuya and said, her expression calm as if there was no wave at all.

lake surface.

Seeing that Ibuki Tamao suddenly changed the subject, Kiritani Tetsuya had no choice but to temporarily put away the idea of ​​teasing him, and then told the girls around him in the most concise way possible what had happened to Utsunomiya Miu in the past few days, especially this evening.

thing.

During the process of his telling, Ibuki Tamao sat quietly on the sofa and listened. It wasn't until Kiritani Tetsuya finished saying what he wanted to say that he sighed slowly, and then spoke unhurriedly:

"From what Kiritani-san said, Utsunomiya-san is most likely really angry this time."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is it really that serious? But I think I didn't do anything too extreme."

Kiritani Tetsuya said still a little puzzled. Until now, he still can't understand that Utsunomiya Miu would have such a big reaction because of such a trivial matter.

"After knowing Utsunomiya-san for so many years, I know that she really hates other people's deception or concealment of herself, but in the past few years since she came to earth, she has never behaved as badly as Kiritani-san just said.

The reaction. It’s really a bit unusual from that perspective.”

Ibuki Tamao explained calmly.

"So I really screwed up this time?"

Kiritani Tetsuya couldn't help but worry.

"I can't say that, but it shows that Kiritani-san's position in Utsunomiya-san's heart has become more and more important."

Ibuki Tamao shook his head decisively, and then continued to add.

"After all, Utsunomiya-san would only react in such a big way if he was deceived by someone he cares about."

"If it were any human other than Kiritani-san who did the same thing, I think Utsunomiya-san would just laugh at it, and then use his special ability to severely punish the human who deceived her. It won't take long.

Then this matter will be forgotten.”

"What you said seems to make sense."

After discussing with Ibuki Tamao, Kiritani Tetsuya began to understand the reason why Utsunomiya Miu was so irritable an hour ago, but he still couldn't fully accept this statement in his heart.

"Have I really become the person she cares about?"

Kiritani Tetsu couldn't help but think about this issue.

"and..."

Just when Kiritani Tetsuya was still thinking over and over what Ibuki Tamao said just now, the divine girl spoke again.

"After these few days of living together, I think Utsunomiya-san has begun to like you a little bit. Although she may not notice it herself, I believe that as time goes by, this feeling will definitely develop in Utsunomiya.

Gong's heart gradually grew bigger, until she could no longer ignore it."

"Is this really the case?" Kiritani Tetsuya murmured to himself.

However, thinking back carefully, he found that the way he and Utsunomiya Miu got along during the period of living together was indeed unusual, and some of the things they did seemed to be behaviors that could only be done between lovers.

Moreover, Kiritani Tetsuya also had some indescribable feelings about Utsunomiya Miu. Especially when he walked out of the girl's apartment, he always felt a faint sense of loss in his heart. This feeling of loss still lingers in his heart to this day.

After thinking about these things, Tetsuya Kiritani immediately focused his attention on Ibuki Tamao again and said in a tone of asking for advice.

"So what should I do now?"

"The first thing Kiritani-san needs to do now is to find Utsunomiya-san as soon as possible, and then do everything possible to get her forgiveness."

Ibuki Tamao replied calmly, making sure to sit upright on the sofa the whole time.

"Okay, I'll go find her when I go to school tomorrow morning, but why do I feel like I was the victim in the cohabitation incident at the beginning, and now it feels a bit weird to have to apologize to her instead.

"

Kiritani Tetsuya nodded at first and then said something sarcastically.

"I think Kiritani-san doesn't need to care about this kind of thing now. Kiritani-san, you might as well think about it, do you want to put down your body for a moment and beg Utsunomiya-san for forgiveness, and then hug each other and share the starry sky at night?

Or stick to your trivial notions of right and wrong, and end up entertaining yourself alone in your room."

Ibuki Tamao said with a serious expression, and at the end he looked at the other party meaningfully.

"I just said it casually, it's not as exaggerated as you think."

Regarding Ibuki Tamao's serious face, Kiritani Tetsuya said with an awkward smile to resolve the suddenly serious atmosphere.

"Anyway, it can be said that we have entered a critical period now. If Kiritani-san can reconcile with Utsunomiya-san in the future, I think your relationship will be one step closer. As for which step it will be, I can't say yet.

But I hope you, Kiritani-san, can work hard and not let down the efforts you have made during this period." Ibuki Tamao said sincerely.
