Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the originally sparse sky was now filled with thick black.
When Izumi Toru walked out of the station, raindrops began to fall.
After hesitating for a while between waiting for the rain to stop and running home, he chose the latter.
Didn't the forecast say there would be no rain today?
I'm so disappointed in you. What are taxpayers' money used for?
Izumi Toru thought while running.
Wow!
Wow!
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Running with his schoolbag was too tiring, so he had to carry it all the way.
His clothes, hair, and shoes were all wet. More importantly, he was so exhausted that he could hardly run anymore.
Looking at the bright flower shop from a distance, Izumi Toru squeezed out the last bit of strength and ran under the eaves to hide from the rain.
"Hoo-ho-ho!"
Hearing the commotion, Shiratori Kyoko walked out of the door and saw Izumi Tooru who was all wet. She quickly found a towel and came out.
"Guest, please use."
Izumi Toru raised his head, and the girl with a single braid was looking at him with worried eyes.
"Thanks!"
Taking the towel, he wiped the water from his hair and neck and handed it back.
"Well... if you don't mind, I, um, there are dry clothes in the store, even though they are women's clothes..."
Listening to Shiratori Kyoko's previous words, Izumi Toru was a little moved, but the last sentence made him immediately give up his previous thoughts.
It is impossible to dress up as a woman, not even in this life!
So he shook his head:
"Do not bother."
"Hey, but... you'll get sick if you continue like this, right?"
"Don't underestimate my physique, I don't get sick easily."
Shiratori Kyoko opened her mouth.
Isn't it you that Izumi Toru in tennis class is panting from exhaustion after swinging the racket for a while?
But seeing how brave he was, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"No, it's nothing..." The girl waved her hand, then walked to the eaves, looked at the dark night above her head, and said, "It's raining so hard."
"Yes, it's raining heavily."
The feeling of wet clothes clinging to my body is very uncomfortable.
Izumi Toru calmed down for a while, and the burning feeling in his throat due to the intense running dissipated.
Seeing that the rain was not getting lighter, he didn't want to wait any longer.
"Farewell."
"Huh? Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"Are you going back like this?" Shiratori Kyoko asked, pointing to the heavy rain outside.
Izumi Toru squeezed the water from his clothes and said, "My clothes are already wet anyway. Just go back and take a hot shower."
"That won't work. I'm going to get an umbrella."
After saying that, before Izumi Toru could speak, the girl ran into the store.
only......
Looking at the lost girl who came out, Izumi Toru had a vague suspicion.
"Hug, I'm sorry...there's no umbrella in the store..."
Kyoko Shiratori lowered her head, poked each other with her index fingers, and said weakly.
"It's okay. But if you don't have an umbrella, what will you do after get off work?"
"Huh? Yes, yes...what should I do..."
"What time do you get off work?"
"Huh?" Although she didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, Shiratori Kyoko still subconsciously answered: "Well, um, it will take about an hour..."
"I see."
After saying this, Izumi Toru turned around and ran into the heavy rain.
Staring blankly at his figure that was submerged by the rain and gradually became blurry, Shiratori Kyoko muttered:
"What do you understand? It's really...it's raining so hard, so don't get sick..."
…
Seeing Izumi Toru coming back panting and wet, Asazuki Bene, who had just left the house and was about to go downstairs to take a shower, raised his eyebrows.
"Junior? Do you like walking in the heavy rain?"
"Who would have that kind of hobby?"
"Hey, what a pity..."
Hearing her smacking of tongue, the corner of Izumi Toru's mouth twitched.
"What's the pity?"
"I thought... my junior would like to play with the whole body wet..." Asazuki Hongyin pressed her lips with her index finger and said with a hint of regret.
"I'm sorry, I pretended I didn't ask." Izumi Toru opened the door expressionlessly and prepared to go in.
"Junior."
"Um?"
"You should wash first, you will catch a cold."
Looking at the toiletries held by Asatsuki Koine in his hand, Izumi Toru shook his head.
"No, I have to go out, senior sister, please go first."
"Do you still want to go out in such heavy rain?"
"Give an umbrella to a confused girl."
After waiting for a while, Izumi Toru, who didn't even change his clothes, hurried out the door carrying two umbrellas.
Asazuki Hongyin glanced at the tool in her hand, then looked at the boy's back, thoughtfully.
Kyoko Shiratori was cleaning up the potted plants when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Turning around to look, Izumi Toru waved to her and pointed to the umbrella leaning against the door.
"I'll pick it up tomorrow night."
"etc!"
As soon as she ran to the door, Izumi Toru had already left without looking back.
"Idiot..."
The girl picked up her umbrella and whispered.
【Daily life of a confused girl:7/100】
Putting away the phone, Izumi Toru raised his eyebrows.
As long as you help the girl get out of her predicament, does it still count even if the predicament is not caused by her own confusion?
In this way, there will be much room for maneuver.
【Wash the kelp! Wash the sea...】
The cell phone rings.
[Caller: Amakusa Family]
"Hey, Narumi..."
"It's me!"
Amakusa Mei's voice came out.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you don't know about Mathematics 1? I'm still outside now. Can I go back and teach you?"
"No! I just saw it was raining! You guy didn't bring an umbrella and you still had to go back..."
Listening to Amakusa Mei's seemingly complaining, but actually concerned words, Izumi Toru lowered his head and glanced at his wet clothes.
"Actually, I have an umbrella in my bag."
"Huh?!"
Amakusa Mei's voice stopped suddenly.
"So, was Mei caring about me just now?" Izumi Toru asked with a smile.
"Who! Who won't shut up? It's none of your business! Boom! Boom! You're being sentimental! Disgusting! Disgusting!"
"Well, well. It's really disgusting."
After being silent for a while, Amakusa Mei continued: "I just thought that if you are sick and can't come tomorrow, your impression will be greatly reduced. By then, you will definitely think of other ways to pester me. I
, I will also be troubled..."
"So are you relieved now?"
"Um."
"Um."
"Then, I'll hang up."
Izumi Toru said softly: "Good night, Mei."
"Why, why are you using such a disgusting tone! You bastard!"
【Click!】
Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Izumi Toru scratched his head.
Did you feel disgusted when you just spoke? It’s no different from usual.
Wait, Mei Yi usually says she is disgusting.
That's okay.
At this time, he suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.
It's better to go back early.
After hanging up the phone, Amakusa Meiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he brought an umbrella.
Otherwise, wouldn't you, who still drags him to study with him even though he has already finished reviewing mathematics, become the culprit that caused him to get caught in the rain?
"Mei! What happened! It's raining! What should Izumi do?!"
At this time, Amakusa Narumi, who had just finished the game and found that it was raining, ran out of the bedroom in a panic.
Amakusa Meiyi rolled her eyes at him, "I just called that guy and he brought an umbrella."
"oh……"
Amakusa Narumi scratched his head and then returned to the bedroom to continue playing games.
The girl came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the continuous rain, feeling a little dazed.
The good night was no different from before, but it still made her ears feel hot.
