Walking on the way home from school.

In the end, Sayu didn't go to Saito's appointment.

Although she was originally reluctant to do this, we are classmates after all, so even if she refuses, she should say hello.

Unfortunately.

Because of a certain shameless person, she completely lost her mood and just walked quickly.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.

The light skirt and loose trousers swayed with the steps, and the dark uniform shoes stepped on the gravel road along the river bank, making the sound of light and heavy footsteps.

"Ogiwara-san."

An annoying sound came from behind.

The girl bit her lower lip, did not respond, and quickened her pace slightly.

"Ogiwara-san."

"..."

"Sayu-chan."

"..."

"Are you still angry?"

"(??へ??╬)"

"It seems so."

The young man smiled and said, "It's my fault to kiss you. If you mind so much, can I ask you to come back?"

"...Shameless!" The girl's steps were chaotic.

Kato Yusuke noticed this and chuckled again: "By the way, can I go to your house?"

"——!"

Sayu suddenly stopped walking in a hurry and turned around suddenly.

"…What exactly do you want to do!"

Yusuke also stopped, looking confused.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to go to your house?"

"Outsiders are not welcome in my home."

"Then that's no problem."

"……Eh?"

"After all, I can't be considered an outsider, right?" Someone shamelessly pointed at himself, his eyes falling on the other person's pink lips.

Sayu instantly realized what he meant and shouted angrily: "——Stop joking!"

"I'm not kidding."

Kato Yusuke's smile faded and he said warmly in an extremely serious tone: "I have always been very serious about your matter."

"...?"

Facing him who suddenly turned from frivolous to serious, the girl couldn't help but froze on the spot.

Taking this opportunity, the slender figure quickly approached.

Click, click, click.

Gray stones of different sizes bounced on the ground as they were kicked by the toes of the shoes.

Boom.

The shoulder bag fell to the ground.

A fresh and warm smell completely enveloped Sayu.

Then……

"Hmm...!"

The scene in the classroom was repeated here.

Compared to the strange first time, this kiss was much gentler, but equally passionate and persistent.

The warm and humid wind brings the sultry atmosphere of summer nights.

The gurgling river, the dense weeds, the muddy path with messy shoe prints, the melting sweet sorbet, the slender smoke of mosquito coils, and the sweet lips of the girl——

These scents are mixed together, making people directly feel that it is this season again.

On the sparkling water, the hovering birds opened their mouths slightly and stuck out their tongues to catch the warm and soft clumsy little fish.

The warm sunshine, with a hint of twilight, gently enveloped the two of them, reflecting a lovely face that looked a bit confused.

After a long time, the intersecting lip lines slowly separated.

With a final peck on those soft lips, Kato Yusuke slowly took a step back, bent over and picked up the schoolbag he had just thrown on the ground. As for the other party's schoolbag, he carried it on his shoulders.

"You are this person..."

Sayu murmured, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and wiped his lips vigorously with the back of his hand, looking extremely disgusted.

"Cough, cough...what on earth are you doing!!"

Looking at the girl who glared at him, Kato Yusuke smiled happily.

"In this case, you can't say that it has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Do you think you will be forgiven for doing such a thing to a girl without permission?"

"That's what I said, but you didn't bite my tongue."

Sayu couldn't help but froze, as if he was speechless by such a shameless statement, and opened his eyes stupidly.

His fragile skin was flushed red with anger, and he retorted: "People like you are the most annoying——!"

As she said this, she felt an inexplicable throbbing deep in her heart, and a very strange emotion was brewing.

It was both anger and shame, mixed with a slightly inexplicable feeling.

This feeling was very strange, especially that kiss. It was as if the other person knew her better than she did. He could always find her weak points and quickly break her will, making her forget to resist for a moment.

Everything was mixed together, and finally turned into disgust for the person in front of me. I wanted to stay away from him and never see him again.

That is not resistance, but more like a vigilance in facing the unknown.

After all, human nature will feel uneasy about things that we don't understand, so we subconsciously want to stay away.

For all this, Kato Yusuke will naturally not let her have her wish.

While raising his hand to pat the dirt on his schoolbag, he said, "Sooner or later you will get used to it."

Will you get used to it...?

What are you used to?

Are you used to his presence? Or are you used to his frivolity?

Sayu doesn't know much and doesn't want to understand these things.

She just took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and then took a step forward.

"...Please return my schoolbag to me."

Stretch one hand forward and spread it upward.

Kato Yusuke smiled, naturally stretched out his hand, and took it.

"How can a girl carry a bag? I can just help you."

Sayu struggled twice, but failed, and then cast a condemning look at him.

"Please let go, I'm not kidding."

"Neither do I. Be obedient and I'll take you home."

"My family is home!"

"Okay, then I can also say hello to my aunt."

"You will regret this."

The girl looked at him deeply, as if realizing that there was no hope of resistance, she finally gave up.

Feeling her looseness, Kato Yusuke raised the corners of his mouth proudly and pulled her forward.

In the middle, she loosened her hand slightly because of the change of direction. If Sayu wanted to, she could take the opportunity to pull her hand out... but she did not do so.

Even she herself didn't understand the reason why she didn't break away. She just moved her legs silently and followed someone.
