"Since you did it yourself, there must be some reason."

Thinking like this, Natsume Naoki slowly opened his eyes.

The person entering was Asai, who was playing with Izumi Mio.

He tilted his head and saw the little rich woman's delicate sleeping face like a porcelain doll, just a few feet away from him.

"Did you just ask me to kiss Amamiya Chizuru?"

For a moment, Asai was frightened and froze.

Her movements while supporting Izumi Mio stiffened for a moment, and then she suddenly turned her head to look at Natsume Naoki.

What he met was a pair of wise eyes, firm but reassuring.

Suddenly, Asai felt that he had not seen the eyes for more than ten years...

I almost forgot how long it had been since I had looked at each other like this with Natsume Naoki, and I almost forgot why the two of them looked at each other so many times when they were young.

But when Natsume Naoki called her just now, Asai felt that nothing had changed. It was still Naoki's brother who was waiting for him at the entrance of the kindergarten after school.

When I saw him at that time, I always ran, and then without braking, I just ran into his arms.

Now this sentence seemed to shout into Asai's heart.

"Brother Naoki?"

"Why do you call me that?" Natsume Naoki looked at Asai and asked with a slight smile: "Actually, we have known each other before, right?"

Asai pursed her lips tightly and nodded slightly, but then shook her head.

"You heard wrong."

He is still the same person, but his temperament has changed a little, which allows Asai to find some feelings from the past.

And Natsume Naoki also feels this way, as if this should be her original self, not the one who gets headaches when she thinks about problems, gets hit by falling branches when walking on the road, and becomes bedridden when the weather changes slightly.

.

Now he felt relaxed all over. All the problems that he had racked his brains to solve were now easily solved by just thinking about them.

For example, why Asai knows her so well, why her mother knows Asai but has no impression of her as a maid, why Asai's hometown is in the small town at the foot of Mount Teida, but she can't remember it.

"I seem to have forgotten some things, and these things should include you." Natsume Naoki originally wanted to ignore Asai and concentrate on thinking, but her eyes that looked at her quietly were too hot, and she couldn't even try to avoid them.

, so he had no choice but to smile and look over, "You know I forgot something, right? Because now that I think about it, you have been catering to me in the past few months, pretending to know me for the first time."

Asai still didn't speak, because she knew that Brother Naoki still hadn't come back. The priest said that if he really succeeds, only by getting back all the missing things can he remember the forgotten things.

Now that he has just regained his understanding, Brother Naoki has guessed a lot of things through clues... This makes Asai feel even more guilty.

If he has always been so smart, how much did the ten years of delay delay him?

"Can't you tell me?" Natsume Naoki looked at Asai and stopped asking about the past.

But this also made him more and more convinced that maybe everything can be revealed in Hokkaido.

The first thing I want to ask when I go back is probably my mother, right?

She definitely has something to do with it.

"Hmm..." Natsume Naoki thought of something, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Isn't it true that the childhood sweethearts you mentioned are true?"

Asai sighed helplessly and put Izumi Mio back on the bed.

Now that he has woken up, it is impossible to repeat what he did just now.

Putting aside whether Natsume Naoki would agree to it or not, Asai still couldn't get over the fact that he kissed another woman in front of him while he was awake.

"Have you been awake since just now?"

"About a few minutes ago." Natsume Naoki didn't hide anything: "I guess I didn't know what to do just now, but now that I think about it, I actually want to see what you are going to do."

Natsume Naoki knocked his head: "It's strange. It feels like my nose is stuffy and then suddenly refreshed. It's like eating a mint candy, and my head is spinning faster... What does it have to do with it?"

He glanced at Chizuru Amamiya, who was sleeping, and then at Asai.

Although he said such confusing words, the meaning was already very clear.

Does it have something to do with the kiss just now?

Asai remained silent, and Natsume Naoki stopped asking.

I guess it's just like before, I can't ask anything.

But Asai must know something, and he didn't hesitate to make such a big fuss and make himself, his senior sister, and the little rich woman do the same thing. It seems to be a very important thing.

Is it related to her or to myself?

The little rich woman has always been very smart. I used to envy her for having such a useful brain. Now I suddenly become smarter. What is the connection between this?

"When will they wake up?" Natsume Naoki asked, "I shouldn't have been drunk the first two times, right?"

Facing Natsume Naoki's inquiry, Asai knew that there was no need to hide anything in front of him now, Naoki's brother was no longer easy to fool.

So Asai nodded: "The medicine I took from Nanami Ye has no side effects. In addition, there is an antidote here. If you don't take it for a while, you will wake up on your own."

Suddenly I remembered that Nanami Ye seemed to have told herself that after taking medicine, you will become resistant to it.

Asai couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if he really cared about it, he would be confused, otherwise he should have considered that he would wake up in the middle.

but……

It can be considered half the success.

Natsume Naoki looked at her senior, focusing on her lips.

It seems that this is Asai's purpose tonight.

If you kiss your senior sister...what will happen?

"Let me help you carry the senior sister down and let them wake up." Natsume Naoki said.

He looked at Asai and smiled slightly: "Although I still don't know what happened, I believe you won't hurt others, so I'll keep it a secret for you."

Asai looked at Natsume Naoki's friendly smile and felt warm in her heart.

But at the same time, he shook his head in his heart.

No, you are wrong.

I won't hurt you.

But he is willing to hurt others for you, even himself.

Natsume Naoki looked at the little rich woman, "She should have known that she had entered the house before she went to sleep, so just leave it here... She is very smart and can easily see what is wrong. I will think about how to explain the sudden change to them later.

Regarding the matter of fainting... I will carry the senior sister down with you first."

"No need, it only weighs a hundred pounds."

As he spoke, Asai easily carried Izumi Mio on his shoulders with one hand, and Natsume Naoki's eyelids jumped at the sight.

Why does her relaxed and carefree look look like she is carrying a rag doll?

Is Senior Sister so light?

No, when I carried my senior sister to the infirmary in the afternoon, she was actually quite heavy...

You can't say this in front of your senior sister.
