Serizawa Yu couldn't help being surprised, as if she couldn't say what she wanted to say, but Shinjoka didn't explain much and just asked her to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Arrange the girl to go to the bathroom, tell her to put the dirty clothes in the washing machine, and then return to the room.

First, he put all the knives outside into the cupboard, took a small folding knife and put it under the pillow for self-defense, and also hid the anti-wolf spray in the corner of the bed.

Then it was time to pave the floor for Yu Serizawa.

Thanks to Yusuke Kato, all the things she originally planned to buy in several trips have been put in the closet, so she only needs to take them out.

However, looking at the kotatsu placed in the center of the room, Shinjou couldn't help but feel a little confused.

You must know that Kato Yusuke helped her place this thing during the day, otherwise it would be difficult for her to move this big thing with her thin arms and legs.

After hesitating for a while, Shintiao Xiang decided to give it a try first.

Just do it if you think of it.

She walked to the side of the kotatsu and squatted down, pressing her hands on the edge of the table, taking a deep breath to gather strength, and then pushed forward with a loud "Hey Hugh~!"

It's like gliding on ice.

Rumble, rumble——

With a heavy sound, the heavy kotatsu slid forward with a "whoosh", extremely smooth.

"Hmm...!?"

Shinjouxiang, who suddenly lost his point of strength, suddenly fell forward and fell onto the carpet with a "Winter!"

"——Xiaoxiang?"

Serizawa Yu's voice came from the bathroom: "There seemed to be a loud noise just now. Did something happen outside?"

"...It's nothing, you don't need to worry-"

"——Okay, I understand."

"..."

Shinjoka rubbed her forehead and stood up straight, leaning on the ground.

First, he looked at the kotatsu that had been pushed out a short distance, and then he looked at his soft little hands.

In order to confirm something, she walked to the kotatsu again, bent down, grabbed the edge of the table with her backhand, and then tentatively lifted it up.

…

"..."

Silently, the table was lifted.

Although it is not said to be effortless, it is generally relatively easy and even leaves a lot of energy left.

"??"

Shinjoka just tried it up and down, a series of question marks popping up in his head.

Then she switched to using only one hand and played with the table up and down again, tossing it over and over again.

emmmmmmm, this time it was a little more strenuous than before.

If you want to use a specific metaphor, it is probably similar to boys playing with dumbbells...?

She thought uncertainly, put down the table with a confused look, and fell into deep thought.

At one moment, it was like a flash of inspiration.

She suddenly remembered the "candy" she had eaten twenty minutes ago!

"……No way……?"

Shinjoka murmured softly, instinctively wanting to deny this ridiculous speculation, but in the next second she thought of the bottle of beauty cream she had received before.

Until Serizawa Yu came out of the shower, she sat quietly next to the kotatsu, motionless.

"Um...what's wrong with you? Xiaoxiang."

"Hmm... I want to put the kotatsu somewhere out of the way, but it can't be pushed here. Can you help me move it to the corner?"

"Haha~ So that's it."

Serizawa Yu gently pressed her bulging chest and said confidently: "Leave it to me. In fact, my physical strength is pretty good."

"That's it~ Well, let's move it to the corner together."

"Um--!"

The two of them stood on either side of the kotatsu and took their places.

"Are you ready? Xiao Xi."

"Okay."

"Then 1, 2, 3, start!"

Shinjoka said this, but deliberately didn't use much force on her hands.

The result is……

"Uh huh..."

Even though Xiao Xi tried very hard, she could only lift the table no higher than her knees, and she couldn't feel as light as she could lift it.

Witnessing this scene, a strange color flashed in Shinjoka's eyes, and then he also pretended to be struggling to lift the table and move the kotatsu to the corner.

"Wow... I mean this is pretty heavy."

"Yeah, overweight."

"But." Serizawa gently flicked her wrist and said, "Xiaoxiang is obviously very petite, but I didn't expect that she is quite strong."

"That's because you're here, right? Otherwise I wouldn't be able to move it by myself." Shinjoka said without changing his expression.

While the two were chatting, they started to spread the bedding on the floor together.

Because there was a strong smell on her body when eating barbecue, Shinjoka also went to the bathroom to take a shower again, and put on a loose black large-size pajamas when she came out.

Although she is quite proud due to her own capital, the size of this long-sleeved pajama still seems too big.

In addition to the hem of the dress reaching to her thighs, even the neckline also slid down one shoulder, exposing a large area of ​​snow-white and delicate skin.

Serizawa Yu couldn't help but blush, and couldn't help but ask.

"You mean, Xiaoxiang, did you... buy clothes of this size specifically to wear?"

Shinjoka raised her collar and answered speciously: "Well, I'm just preparing for the occasional occasion."

…

"That's it..."

The girl nodded as if understanding, her eyes fell on the left half of his cheek, and an inconspicuous slap mark jumped into her eyes, making her stunned.

"Do you care?" Shinjoka, aware of her eyes, touched her cheek and asked with a smile.

"Ah...nope either."

"This, was it beaten by my mother?"

"What……?"

"I said this slap was given by my mother."

Serizawa Yu opened her mouth slightly in astonishment, and then whispered apologetically: "...I'm sorry, did I remind you of something bad?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, the pain is gone now, and it should all be gone by tomorrow morning."

"...Well, Xiaoxiang, do you have a bad relationship with your family?"

"Hmm~ It's not good. It's better to say it's terrible." Shinjoka affirmed matter-of-factly.

"Including this slap, because the woman didn't agree with me moving out alone, so I was slapped."

"Aha……"

After hearing this reply, Serizawa Yu murmured, hesitating and not knowing how to react, but in the end she couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart and couldn't help but ask:

"Then...where is your father?"

"..."

Shinjoka's eyes moved slightly and he began to ponder.

"Well - it's okay if you want to know..."

She said: "But on the other hand, if I tell you my own affairs, you will also tell me your own affairs in exchange. What do you think?"

"Exchange..."

Serizawa Yu hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly and agreed.
