Although she couldn't explain why, she unexpectedly didn't dislike the other person's character and felt vaguely nostalgic for him.

The two chatted while eating. The same age and status made them feel naturally close to each other.

When she heard Sayu say that she had stayed downstairs for a night before, Asami asked curiously.

"Hey, Sister Sayu, have you ever run away from home? Is it because you have a bad relationship with your family?"

The warmth of the other party's questions was strange. It wasn't that he was full of interest in her, nor was it that he was still asking questions despite his lack of interest. It felt like "although he was interested, he would ask questions in a moderate way".

Sayu thought so, a natural smile appeared on her face.

"It's not like that. I haven't done anything so rebellious. It's just that there were some special reasons at the time, so someone brought me here to stay for one night."

"Is that so? Since you said "others", it means it's not Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi, right?"

"Well, it's not them."

"Hey~ In that case..."

Asami snorted, paused and said, "The person who brought you here can only be Katozai?"

"--Eh?"

Sayu's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. He raised his head suddenly, pursed his lips and asked, "That... this name..."

"Name? Ah, you mean Katozai? That's my neighbor, a super handsome guy, and the founder of this organization. You may have heard of his name, his name is -"

"——Kato Yusuke."

The loud shouting echoed through the room, making Asami's shoulders tremble.

"Wow, it's scary. It scares me to death. Why are you so excited? Are you also a fan of his?"

"..."

Sayu bit her lips tightly and remained silent.

OSY Association, OSY Association, OSY Association.

My heart skipped a beat.

"…………fraud."

"Uh? What did you say, Sister Sayu?"

"Ah...no, I'm not talking about you, Asami..."

"Is it……?"

Asami frowned and agreed doubtfully.

"...Well, Asami, although it's a bit presumptuous, can I ask?"

"what?"

Sayu took a deep breath and sat upright, "I want you to tell me what I should do if I want to stay here as a volunteer?"

"Volunteers..."

Asami narrowed her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and then said:

"Well, actually I didn't encounter any obstacles when I came here. I just met Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi and passed it smoothly, so I think I have to contact Xiaoxiang for this kind of thing."

"Is that so...I'm sorry, I'm going to make a phone call outside."

"OK~ Remember to put on your coat, it's freezing outside."

"OK."

Sayu nodded gratefully, rushed to the entrance with his cell phone and coat, then put on his coat and shoes and walked out the door.

After confirming that the door was closed, she dialed Shintiao Xiang's number.

…

By the time she ended the call and returned to the room, Asami had already finished her omelette rice and was lazily leaning against a cloth sofa to eat.

"How's it going? Have you contacted Xiaoxiang?"

"Yeah... I've contacted you."

Sayu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face that was slightly red due to the cold wind, she sniffed and said, "Miss Shinjo said it's okay."

"That's it, that's good."

Asami nodded indifferently and pointed to the plate on the table.

"By the way, because you were on the phone for so long that the omelette rice got cold, so I heated it up in the microwave for you and eat it quickly~"

"Huh? Ah, um, thank you."

"You're welcome~"

Sayu walked to the table and sat down, looking alternately at the omelette rice in front of her and the other person's face, and couldn't help but say: "Um... Asami, don't you even ask me why?"

"Reason...? Are you referring to why you want to join the association?"

"..."

Sayu nodded silently and said nothing.

Asami glanced at her thoughtfully and grinned, "There's nothing to ask about that kind of thing, right?"

"……Huh?"

"Anyway, you're probably doing it because of Katozai, right? Do you want to get the moon first by getting closer to the water?"

"Ah, well, I am actually..."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking. You don't need to be so nervous. Just calm down."

"oh……"

"Besides, I don't really care whether you're doing it for Katozai or something else. Just do what you want to do, Sayu-chan."

"That's it..."

Asami raised her body with a "Hey~" and said with a smile:

"Oh, I don't know why, even though Sayu and I met for the first time today, I still feel very nostalgic, as if we have known each other for a long time."

Sayu tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "You mean feeling like old friends at first sight?"

"Yes! That's it! We felt like old friends at first sight~!"

Asami laughed heartily and stretched out a hand.

"I always feel like we might become good friends, let's get to know each other again ~ I'm Asami Yuuki, please give me more advice in the future, Sayu-chan."

Sayu looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, blinked his eyes cutely twice, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hey, what's up? Did I say something strange?"

"Aha... No, it's not like that..."

Sayu laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled, then she raised her head and covered her mouth and said, "I just thought it was funny that Asami you suddenly spoke in such a serious tone."

Hearing what she said, Asami couldn't help but show a terrible expression on her face, her cheeks became visibly red, and she immediately slapped her shoulders in anger.

"Idiot! Why are you laughing? You're so annoying!"

"Sorry sorry~"

Sayu couldn't help but wave his hands, trying to calm down his emotions, then put away his smile and stretched out a hand.

"...I'm sorry, let's do it again. My name is Sayu Ogiwara. Nice to meet you. Please give me your advice in the future, Asami."

Asami scratched her hair with a look of displeasure and muttered, "Really, it would have been better if you had just said that earlier."

At the age of 18, this winter at the end of my senior year of high school.

The two hands were held together.
