At seven o'clock in the morning on the second day of the overnight stay, Raku Sakakibara struggled to push himself up while half asleep. He put on the hotel's disposable slippers, yawned with his right hand, walked to the window, and opened the gauze curtain.<
/p>
"Whoa!" Suddenly, light shines through.
Sakakihara closed his eyes subconsciously. After his eyes adjusted to the bright light in the morning, he saw the scene in front of him.
Outside, the verdant green plants and the pool complement each other. Birds are chirping on the branches, and carp are making sparkling ripples on the water. The location of this room is very good, and the air is very cool.
Sakakihara put his hands on the edge of the bed, took a breath of the cold air outside, and relaxed his mind.
He couldn't help but imagine that weather like this was perfect for going out for a long run of several kilometers.
——Breaking in the cold air, running in the quiet forest, you can clearly see the sprouts and the falling dewdrops.
Very beautiful.
Unfortunately, this is not possible now.
I have to make breakfast for my two sisters.
Sakakibara put away his thoughts of flying to the blue sky, turned around, and saw the two girls who were still sleeping on the bed.
Nanami Nanami's sleeping posture was very upright, in line with her usual slim temperament. Suzu Sakakihara was holding her, with his face on her shoulder, one leg draped over her body, and the quilt was half open. The movements are very intimate, like good sisters.
Didn't the two of them quarrel at noon yesterday?
Reconciliation in a blink of an eye?
Maybe girls’ feelings are just so strange.
While they were sleeping, Raku Sakakibara went to the place where dinner was cooked yesterday and spent half an hour preparing three bowls of ramen.
When I came out carrying the lunch box with ramen, I met the front desk lady who was on the night shift yesterday.
She bowed her head and said hello professionally:
"Mr. Sakakibara."
Sakakihara Raku felt a little embarrassed to occupy the hotel's resources like this, and he happened to be bumped into, so he had to smile awkwardly:
"Sorry for using the things in your store like this again, but I have cleaned up everything in the kitchen."
"Ah?" The lady at the front desk did not expect that he would apologize to her, and waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, the store manager informed me last night, and the things in the store can be used by you, Mr. Sakakibara."
"?"
Now it was Raku Sakakibara's turn to be confused... Logically speaking, for a regular high-end hotel with a pool and hot spring, the procedures in the hotel should be very formal, and they would not randomly lend things to guests.
Seemingly sensing his doubts, the receptionist smiled and explained:
"Before Miss Tenkai came here, the store manager specifically asked me to try my best to meet Miss Tenkai's requirements. And last night, Mr. Sakakibara, before you came, Miss Tenkai also informed me in advance, 'There will be one soon.
If someone named Sakakibara comes, if he needs to borrow anything, you can lend it to him.'"
"...You call her, Miss Tianhai?"
"The store manager asked me to call him that, Mr. Sakakibara." The front desk lady said, "I guess Miss Tenkai is the child of an acquaintance of the store manager. Girls with that kind of temperament can tell the difference at a glance.
."
"I also think she has some connection with the owner of this store."
The front desk lady smiled and nodded to Sakakibara Raku, "If Mr. Sakakibara has no other questions, I will go down and rest first. There will be someone else at the front desk to take over. You can ask her if necessary."
"Oh, that's good, I have no other questions."
"Hmm."
The lady at the front desk lowered her head to say goodbye, and walked towards the pine wood stairs of the hotel with a sleepy look on her face.
Apparently he worked the night shift and didn't sleep well.
......
Raku Sakakibara left the kitchen and came to the front desk, looking around at the antique-style hotel, but with some modern elements.
This looks like a high-end hotel where wealthy people would stay.
Even the clerk and store manager call Qi Mingyue Miss Tianhai...
Without thinking, you can understand that this store is more or less related to the Tianhai family.
No wonder it was so easy to borrow the kitchen yesterday. He had prepared a lot of words to convince the front desk lady...
Unexpectedly, Qi Mingyue was secretly helping...
Speaking of which, it was very sudden that he and Jiuliuli were appointed by the school to participate in the mixed doubles competition.
Thinking about it afterwards, he felt even more strange?
Could it be that Qi Mingyue was secretly helping all this?
Raku Sakakihara stopped in front of the wooden stairs. While carrying the lunch box, he took out his mobile phone and found the phone number of "Tachibana Kiyohara" that he had left before.
He pressed the dial button.
After three beeps of "Didi", the call was connected.
"Orange...Principal."
"Oh? It turns out to be Xiao Le. You don't need to see anyone outside. It's okay for them to call me uncle after Qi Yue. Even if they get divorced, they are still my nieces. As their brother, it's okay for you to call me uncle. It's too much to call me the principal in private.
A little bit raw."
"Then I...just call uncle?"
"Hmm. Xiaole, why are you calling so early? Is it a problem with the shared accommodation? Or is there something unreasonable about the shared accommodation?"
"It's not about sharing accommodation, but I want to ask about the mixed men's and women's doubles competition."
Sakakihara Raku didn't say everything, but Tachibana Kiyohara on the other end of the phone seemed to have already understood what he meant.
"Xiao Le wants to ask why the school selected you and Liuli to participate in the competition alone, right?"
"Yes." Raku Sakakibara thought that it was really fun to talk to Principal Tachibana. He knew exactly what he wanted to ask and didn't beat around the bush.
"Well...this is something that was entrusted to me in July. As the principal, she also came up with an explanatory report that I couldn't find a reason for rejecting. Considering both personal and public concerns, it's okay to agree to this small matter.
”
"Is that so?"
"Haha, I think she wants to help you in Qiyue. You don't have to think too much, and it's not that the school is trying to make things difficult for you. Liuli is good at archery, and all the teachers in the archery world praise her as 'extremely talented'.
Xiaole, you should be able to learn a lot from playing with her once, and it should be for this reason that you asked me for help in July."
"So that's it. Well, thank you uncle."
"It's okay. Is there anything else besides this problem?"
"...No, thank you uncle."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll hang up now. It's time for me to get up and take care of things."
"Well, I won't bother you uncle anymore."
"Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, Sakakibara put the phone back in his trouser pocket and carried the lunch box to the door of 2-2.
My head seems to have not woken up yet, I am a little groggy and I can’t remember things clearly.
However, Qi Mingyue's words "I want to sleep with you" late last night left a deep impression on him.
Even though I have regarded this sentence as a joke... But if a beautiful girl comes to your bed in the middle of the night and says such a sentence to you, you can't even think about it...
What if she is serious?
What if she was joking and I mistakenly thought she was serious?
......
There are thousands of similar ideas.
Qi Mingyue will help her secretly, which also shows that she is not completely a little devil with only bad intentions.
She also cares about people, but she doesn't show it usually.
Sakakihara Raku said that he usually likes Nanamigetsu...
The quirky sister.
She seems to be indifferent to everything, but in fact she still has a little tenderness of her own deep in her heart.
If——
There was a click.
The door suddenly opened.
The Seven Bright Moons of the Sky and the Sea appeared in front of her eyes, and her hair seemed to have not been combed yet.
"Brother, are you just sitting at the door in a daze?"
Sakakihara picked up the lunch box and said with a smile: "I went downstairs to help you make food."
"What did you do?" Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at it.
"Ramen."
The topic suddenly stopped for a while.
"Brother, is this like this every day? Get up in the morning and make breakfast."
"Of course, we have known each other for almost two months, and we have been like this most of the time in these two months."
"Aren't you tired?"
"Haha, Jiuliuli has asked me this question many times."
"That was what my sister asked, and now Qi Mingyue is asking."
"...I said before that there is nothing wrong with letting family members eat happily."
"Is this part of my brother's tenderness?"
"It's up to you to define this. Just like A Ling did before, it's okay to take it for granted."
"You have to lose many things that you take for granted before you feel cherished. My sister-chan only felt a sense of crisis because of the appearance of my sister and me... In other words, she began to realize how good you are, brother."
"I understand, this is indeed the feeling recently."
He said such a long list of meaningless words, like a pretext before the topic.
Sakakibara decided to ask her what happened last night, "Nana Mingzuki, what you suddenly said to me last night."
Tianhai Qimingyue looked uninterested: "Brother, do you think I like you?"
"It's best not..." Sakakihara looked at her seriously.
Tianhai Qimingyue took a deep breath obviously, and then relaxed quickly, "It's not true. My brother is making good progress with my sister now. Taking advantage of today's heart-to-heart talk, I should be able to gain some special favor from my sister."
"Really?" Sakakihara Raku could tell that she was avoiding the topic.
"Brother is so suspicious. If I say now that I do like you, brother, how will you react?"
Sakakibara thought for a while: "99% will think you are teasing me."
There was no trace of emotion on Tianhai Qimingyue's delicate face: "So, the answer is that simple. Besides, even if there is such a 0.000001% probability that I really like you, brother, what will the result be? My brother likes my sister.
”
"The fact is that it is true...but I still hope you won't think too much about it."
"It's my brother, so don't think too much about it."
Seeing that the topic was over, Sakakihara picked up the food box in his right hand and said: "It's better to eat the ramen quickly. The taste will be much worse after soaking for a long time."
Tianhai Qimingyue moved away, allowing him space to enter.
Before entering, Sakakibara glanced at the Seven Bright Moons of the Sky.
Her face is as beautiful and delicate as her sister.
"Brother, do you have anything else to ask?"
Sakakihara looked at her and asked: "Can I call you 'July'?"
Tianhai Qimingyue's expression changed for the first time, "Sister told you?"
"Yes, she said this is your nickname and it will make you more friendly when you call it."
"That's good, but I refuse."
Sakakihara Raku didn't ask about the reason. He turned around and didn't look at her dreamy and beautiful eyes. Although his tone was ordinary, he might hear a little disappointment: "Then I'd better call you Qi Mingyue. It's quite cordial." p>
Tianhai Qimingyue watched him walk in, watched him put the lunch box on the small table, and brought out three bowls of ramen.
These three bowls of ramen have obvious differences in taste.
There are two red soups and one clear soup. The clear soup bowl also comes with a spoon.
He probably knows that he doesn't like drinking soup from a bowl.
Brother, you always pay attention to such small details.
Tianhai Qimingyue can't describe how I feel at this moment.
But if she really wants to evaluate her, the Sakakibara Raku in front of her is the one person besides her sister who would be willing to understand her...
Bandage the ankle twice, carry it once, hold it twice...
And, what happened a long time ago...
Looking at his back, which was taller than hers, Tianhai Qimingyue recalled these things inexplicably deep in her heart.
Like?
I don’t really like it, but it’s true that I have a good impression.
"I'll wake up Suzu. Come over and eat." Raku Sakakihara turned around and said to her.
"Hmm."
Tianhai Qimingyue nodded slightly and put all those thoughts back into her stomach.
She looked at the bowl of fragrant ramen and thought to herself, no wonder her sister kept telling herself that her brother is a very good person...
Forget it.
Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head again.
Why do you think about things so heavily? Certain things are not absolutely necessary.
While you're out for a trip, it's a good idea to sit in the shade and read a book.

The morning training camp went on in an orderly manner.
After lunch, at two o'clock in the afternoon, today's arrangements were as promised by Tianhai Jiuliuli.
Mr. Sakahara gathered everyone together and explained that the school agreed to everyone's request to spare some practice time to prepare barbecue ingredients.
In other words, from now on, everyone can disperse and go to the street to buy ingredients.
Get whatever you want to eat!
And all the bills will be paid by Minister Tianhai!!
The entire archery club was in a state of excitement and cheered in unison:
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!!"
"Minister Tianhai is on board!!"
"Minister Tianhai is on board!!"
"Okay, okay," Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled and warned everyone: "Don't bring too much food. It's a waste if you can't finish it. Remember to bring some drinks and other things. There are barbecue grills and coal hotels.
There is no need for everyone to prepare."
"Okay!"
"Great!"
"Wow wow wow!!"
The boys' voices are like Guinea baboons on stimulants, so wild that many girls holding longbows joke that they look like monkeys.
The boys didn't care what the girls said. They just knew someone they knew. They held hands and took a few steps to go out to buy ingredients together.
Some girls wanted to call Tianhai Jiuliuli to go buy barbecue ingredients together, but she declined because she wanted to accompany her two younger sisters who were traveling here.
"Huh?! Didn't the minister want to be alone with Sakakibara-kun?"
"That's not true." Faced with the ridicule, Amami Kuriuri smiled generously and said, "Sakakibara-kun is also a member of my sister's club. He was just called over by her to help. Now I want to go find the two of them." "Then the minister's sister likes Sakakibara-kun, right?"
This question made Tianhai Jiuliuli hesitate for a moment, because based on her observation, Qi Mingyue seemed to have a good impression of her brother.
To say I like it is hard to say.
It's just a very close level.
"It doesn't count..." Tianhai Jiuliuli said.
Another girl took the talking girl's arm and advised: "Okay, okay, there are some things you can't just ask! Maybe even the minister doesn't know, so don't embarrass the minister."
"Oh, yes, yes, I also want to thank you, Mr. Minister, for inviting us to have a barbecue today!" The girl immediately made a naval salute, but it was not very standard.
"Haha, Shiori-chan, your hands are turned upside down."
"Huh?! Is that so? Haha, no matter what, Minister, we will go out to buy ingredients first. When we came here, I really wanted to try the fish here. I heard it is very fresh!"
"Okay."
"Goodbye, see you tonight, Minister."
"Goodbye."
"Hmm...why did you stop suddenly?" Suzu Sakakihara closed her eyes and raised her head in confusion.
Tianhai Qimingyue did not reply. She just stood on the stone bridge and looked at the bottom of the bridge with dull eyes.
"You're not saying anything. What are you looking at?"
Sakakihara Suzu walked over. In doubt, he followed her line of sight and looked in that direction.
