Her tone was full of apologies, and the look in her eyes that looked at him was half-part remorse and three-thirds regret.

After saying that, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he just stuffed the things into his arms without any explanation, and then quickly escaped, closing the door behind him.

——Padang.

The sound of the door closing echoed in my ears.

Kato Yusuke lowered his head and looked at the thing in his hand, lost in thought.

…

Finally, he took a rough shower.

When he came out with a towel on his head and black home clothes, twenty minutes had passed.

The mess that was left at the dinner table has been cleared up.

The curry that I had only eaten a few bites was placed on the table, with steam still wafting from it.

"I've reheated the curry. You can continue eating. I'll pack my clothes." Kanoko Hasumi glanced at him hastily, then trotted into the bathroom with her head lowered.

Kato Yusuke wiped his wet hair, sat down at the dining table, and continued to eat hot curry.

Click, bang, beep~

Buzz——

The sound of the washing machine running came from the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Hasumi Kanoko returned to the living room.

Kato Yusuke also finished his curry and was washing the dishes in the kitchen sink.

Having witnessed this scene, Hasumi Kanoko was slightly startled. She didn't expect that he would eat so fast, and hurriedly walked up.

"Kato-kun, just put it down and I will take care of the rest."

"I've already washed it."

"Really, you are obviously a guest, why would you do such a thing?"

"Nothing, how long will it take to get my uniform?"

"I set up washing and drying, which takes about an hour."

"knew."

"otherwise……"

Hasumi Kanoko clasped the fingers of her hands in front of her chest to form a triangular structure and said, "You go watch TV, I'll make you some coffee."

Kato Yusuke dried his hands with a dry kitchen towel, glanced across her face, nodded his chin calmly, and then walked to the sofa.

During the waiting period.

He did not watch TV as the other party said, but took out his comic set-drawing book, dip pen, and comic ink from his school bag.

In order to speed up the progress of the "Chainsaw Man" comic, he now carries these tools with him when he goes out, and will draw a little whenever he has free time.

Putting the ink on the small table next to the sofa, Yusuke Kato held the G pen and continued to draw the original manuscript.

"Can I put Kato-kun's coffee here?"

"Okay, thank you."

After receiving the approval, Hasumi Kanoko placed a mug next to the ink, then took her own mug and nestled on the single sofa on the other side.

While holding the cup with both hands, she asked curiously: "What are Kato-kun drawing?"

"comics."

"So you still have such interest?"

"It's considered work."

"Work?"

"Um."

Hasumi Kanoko nodded in understanding, took a sip of coffee, and stared at him unblinkingly.

Immediately, I felt that this approach was a bit too blatant, so I also picked up a book and read it.

Swish, swish.

Whoa, whoa.

The sound of the pen tip scratching the paper and the sound of the turning pages of the book echoed one after another, echoing quietly in the room.

Hassan saw Kanoko reading a book for a while, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at his face.

The warm light in the room cast an ambiguous light on them.

She looked at his slightly damp silver hair, his dark dark eyes, and his slightly pursed thin lips, as if admiring a black and white sketch.

Kato Yusuke drew for a while, then inadvertently raised his head and met her eyes.

Time stood still for a second.

Seeing Kanoko, Hassan immediately lowered his head and concentrated on reading.

The light dazzled her, and she didn't read a single word in the book.

"What are you looking at?"

"……Eh?"

Her heartbeat skipped a beat, feeling that he must have discovered her secret peeping, and she felt uneasy inside.

"What are you reading?" Kato Yusuke repeated again.

Hasumi Kanoko put down the book "How to Quickly Get Out of the Shadow of Broken Love" in her hand, her eyes fell on his cold and serious face, and she gave the answer half truthfully and half falsely.

"...Who asked me to meet an excessive person? He keeps making my heart flutter and rejecting me at the same time. I have to find a way to relieve myself."

"...That kind of book just sells anxiety."

A brief silence.

"Then..." Hasumi Kanoko pretended to be reserved and lifted her hair, and asked quietly: "Kato-kun, what can you do to help me get over my broken love?"

Kato Yusuke looked at her with no emotion, nodded lightly as if understanding, and then began to continue drawing the original manuscript.

Swish, swish.

The sound of steady brushstrokes sounded quietly.

Hasumi Kanoko curled her lips, put the book in her hand aside, picked up the coffee and drank it.

"Regarding the previous topic...what is your relationship with Shinjo-san?"

"Does this have to be answered?"

"...Although it's not necessary, I want to know."

"Even high school students wouldn't say such willful words."

"Then I'll guess."

"As you wish."

"If I'm right, don't lie to me."

Kato Yusuke neither agreed nor refused, he just did the job at hand.

Hasumi Kanoko pursed her lips, hesitated again and again, then gritted her teeth and said: "You are...are...well, just..."

I kept hemming and hawing like this for a long time, but still couldn't say anything.

She couldn't help lowering her head dejectedly, and whispered in an annoyed tone: "Anyway, I know."

Kato Yusuke did not respond, looking unfazed.

——Boom.

Suddenly there was a distant muffled thunder outside the house.

The sky turned dark unconsciously...
