At the same time, the hands on the clock had just reached nine o'clock.

In Shinjoka's apartment.

The two girls have finished taking showers one after another.

"Huh... it feels so comfortable."

Serizawa Yu put on the pink pajamas and walked out of the bathroom with a bang.

Looking up, Shinjoka was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone.

The pajamas should be very loose, but they are particularly tight on the chest.

The tall and round peaks are really eye-catching.

Apart from the word "childlike giant?", it seems that there is no other more appropriate adjective.

Serizawa couldn't help but blush, and murmured unconsciously: "...it's so big."

Even though her voice was very low, she was still heard by the other party.

"As long as you develop properly, you can grow even more than you are now." Shinjou Xiang replied lazily without moving.

"Eh? This means... Xiaoxiang, did you become like this later?"

"Well, that's right."

"Really?"

"When I was in junior high school, it was G, and when I entered high school, it was H."

"H——!?"

Serizawa Yu was shocked for a moment, and immediately sat down on the paved floor with a "poof", and murmured in a very shaken mind:

"'Girls will grow up after entering high school.' I always thought this statement was just a rumor...is it true?"

"You know that doesn't represent everyone, right? It's just that my personal development is better."

Developing well...?

After carefully looking at the girl on the bed, she said very seriously: "... Xiaoxiang, you are so petite and exquisite, but your nutrition has gone to strange places."

"?"

Shinjoka narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked sideways, "...Are you mocking me for being short? Be careful, I'll beat you up."

Even though her cheek had just been ravaged by the other party a few hours ago, Serizawa Yuu still couldn't feel the lethality from that cute face, and continued to ask curiously:

"...You mean, wouldn't it be too heavy?"

"Are you stupid? Of course it's very heavy, and the lower body is prone to sweating when exercising. It's very troublesome."

"...Hmm? I'm sorry, although it does sound troubled, but I still feel... there seems to be a subtle sense of showing off."

"Whatever you say."

"Ah~ don't ignore me, let's talk more."

Hearing this, Shinjoka glanced at her and said casually: "What are you talking about?"

"Well, since I'm almost leaving, I want to say thank you one last time. Thank you for your care during this period. Xiaoxiang, you should take good care of yourself in the future."

"That kind of thing is a waste of time, and it won't do you any good to care about me, right? I just followed the president's order to take you in."

Seeing the girl speaking these words expressionlessly, Serizawa Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Wow... There is no need to say this, Xiaoxiang, but you are so inhumane."

"It doesn't matter, the target is you anyway, and this is also a fact."

"Hmm? Does this mean...that I am valued?"

"How can it be?"

"Is it true... Actually, it's that. Xiaoxiang, you think there is no need to spend any effort to deal with me, so you don't have any scruples when you speak...?"

With a "pop~" sound, Shintiao Xiang snapped his fingers.

"Bingo~ The correct answer is basically like that."

"Alas..." Serizawa Yu sighed heavily.

"It doesn't matter to me. If this can help you let go of some of your burdens, that's fine. Rather, it would be better to have a real reaction like Xiaoxiang's. At least you would say it clearly if you hate me?"

"I don't hate you. After all, I've been quite comfortable this week."

"Thank you, hehe... I actually like Xiaoxiang very much too. Although it sounds like I have to say goodbye soon, I still have to rely on you until tomorrow morning."

"..."

Shinjoka casually played with a strand of bangs on her forehead, looking at the TV series on her phone, not interested in talking.

But the next second, she heard this sentence.

"And... I mean Xiaoxiang, do you... like Yusuke-san?"

Shinjoka couldn't help but hesitate in the movements of her hands, "...like the president?"

Serizawa nodded in agreement, "After all, I haven't heard anything from Xiaoxiang about anyone other than Yusuke-san."

A brief silence.

"I like it..." Shinjoka murmured, with a flash of self-mockery in his eyes.

"Basically, the word "like" is too heavy. I have an attachment relationship with that person, and I just rely on the president to survive."

"...Attachment? What does that mean?"

"It means you don't need to know so much right now." She said, throwing the phone on the bed and lying down in a large font.

"And I'm a little sleepy. Could you please turn off the light?"

Although it was a bit regretful that she refused to answer, Serizawa Yui obediently ran to turn off the light, then returned to the floor bed in the dark and lay down.

"Good night, Xiaoxiang."

"OK, good night."

The two said good night to each other and then fell silent.

As the lights dimmed, the room suddenly became quiet.

It seemed that night had not really fallen until this moment.

Serizawa Yu stared blankly at the hazy ceiling, identifying the outline of the lamp, and felt depressed for no reason.

Pull the quilt up to cover half of your face.

The smell of laundry detergent that became familiar unknowingly came immediately, making people feel peaceful, but also a little empty and lonely.

Melancholy spreads in the darkness, extending to every corner of the room.

Although they had just talked a lot, she subconsciously avoided a certain key topic, which was Kato Yusuke's unusual reaction when he left.

I don’t know how Brother You is doing now...

She was thinking sadly, but in the next second she suddenly heard an impatient voice.

"You don't need to worry about that kind of thing. The vice-president will accompany him anyway."

"Hey, Xiaoxiang, aren't you asleep yet?"

Chigga, chigga.

The mattress made a soft sound.

"I want to sleep, but you are chattering over there, keeping me awake."

When Serizawa Yu heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then immediately realized that she seemed to have read out what was in her mind unconsciously.

"Uh, sorry, I'll be careful not to make any more noise."

After a while.

Shinjoka sighed suddenly, "I really can't stand it. Do you mean you want to come up and sleep with me?"

"Eh?"

After being stunned for a moment, Serizawa Yu sat up involuntarily, "Is this okay?"

"I don't want to hear you talking in your sleep again at night, it's very noisy."

Doesn't it matter if it's in bed?

Although there were doubts in his mind, Serizawa Yui quickly agreed.

"Well, I want to be with Xiaoxiang, so I'll excuse you..."

After saying that, he got up from the ground and slipped into the other person's quilt.

"Wow, the bed is so soft, and Xiaoxiang smells so good and feels so warm."

"I asked you to come up to sleep. Who asked you to carry me up without permission? Let me go."
