"Eriri-san, can you please get off me..."

There was a slight hint of helplessness in the words, and a troubled look appeared on Kei's face.

And the source of this was, like a koala hanging from her body, a golden-haired object.

"Ah."

While speaking, Eiriri slowly let go of her hand and left Kei's body.

"Well, I'll go back to my room and try it out."

Saying so, she picked up the paper bag on the ground and trotted up the stairs.

Hui, on the other hand, tidied up the wreckage of the package on the ground, and then looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

It was already a bit late for lunch.

Let's take a look at what's in the refrigerator first, while thinking about her walking towards the kitchen.

Ying Lili, who was humming an unknown tune, was in the room, spreading out the manuscript paper.

Picking up the pen again really feels like a world away, which makes people miss it after a long time.

Painting is no longer just a hobby, but has become a habit in her life.

While thinking about it, the strokes that were a little jerky at the beginning gradually became more and more proficient in outlining.

So absorbed in himself, only the sound of the pen tip across the manuscript paper echoed in the quiet room.

"Yingli Lisan~ come down to eat."

After an unknown amount of time, a call came from downstairs to break the silence.

"I know!"

Putting down the pen in her hand and responding, Ying Lili got up and left the room.

And the painting that has been roughly outlined lay quietly on the table.

It can be vaguely distinguished as the image of a long-haired woman, smiling quietly with open arms, just like a statue of the Virgin Mary of a certain religion.

"That...Huisang..."

Ying Lili was a little awkward and pinched

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Megumi tilted her head in confusion at such a girl.

"The money for shopping..."

"Didn't you say it's pretty cheap, so don't worry about Yingli Lisan."

Kei, with a calm face, still had a nonchalant tone.

Having said that, everyone knows that for the current women, there is nothing that can be called cheap.

"I will work hard to make money!"

"Well, Yinglili-san, if you don't eat it, the food will be cold."

"...Megumi, why don't you say something!"

"I see."

"........."

Looking at her still calm attitude, Ying Lili felt as if she couldn't exert herself in front of cotton.

"If Yingli Lisang wants to do it, she must be able to do it well."

Hui's usual gentle voice rang out a little later.

"After all, it turned out that Ying Lili-san was one of the best celebrities in school."

"...Megumi knew me from the beginning..."

"Because it's very popular among the same grade and senior students, I've heard it from others..."

"Eh??? Is it like this?"

Although she was a little self-conscious, she felt that it was a little bit beyond her imagination, and Ying Lili looked a little surprised.

However, the personality of Sawamura Eriri is also like this. At school, she is a mixed-race daughter, a master of the art club and a school idol.At home, she is a house girl in a cocoon, a newcomer illustrator and a wall writer for fan shows.

"Perhaps Eri-san, you didn't mean to make yourself conspicuous, and I didn't intend to make myself inconspicuous."

"Even so, I know Yingli Lisang, but Yingli Lisang doesn't know me."

The calm tone was mixed with a little loneliness, and then there was a subtle expression on his face.

"According to my friend's opinion, I always give a weak impression. Shouldn't it be easy to ignore..."

"I always feel that this is some kind of vicious setting. It is probably impossible for a person like me who has no characteristics to remember me..."

Ying Lili could definitely feel the slightly revealed emotions as she weaved each word, and something in her heart gradually became higher along with this...

"wrong!"

"what……?"

So at that moment, the tone couldn't help becoming stronger.

"Hui... you're not like this!"

Even objectively, it must be cute.

Even if he doesn't change his temper with the eldest lady, he is gentle and serious without knowing it, and his good temper is like a saint of a certain religion.

Thinking of this, it felt as if there was a surge of heat in his chest.

"I can assure you! So, so..."

Words that I want to express as much as I can, but don't know how to weave them are blocked in my mouth.

At this time, Hui's voice sounded again.

"Thank you."

Along with this, she smiled.

"I'm very happy to say that, Eirisan."

Chapter 29 Chapter 28 Rainy Day

The new day is not always good weather, from the sudden rain just now, it is now hitting the windows coldly.

And the wind that continued to blow made today's temperature seem even colder.

In normal times, the sun has already risen high, but because the sky is very gloomy today, the sun has always been tightly covered in the clouds, and there is no chance to come out to let the wind out.

Holding the cheapest transparent umbrella in the convenience store, Kei shuttled on the sidewalk beside the road.

There was still half an hour before the appointment with Ms. Suzumori, and it was more than enough to arrive before then.

At the crossroad Hui just passed by, there was a small park and a stylish restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire wall. Opposite to the direction she came from, across the pedestrian crossing, there was a woman standing by the side of the restaurant. under the eaves.

Now it was close to the time of going to work in the morning, and there were not many people on the road. There was only one reason why they paid special attention to her—it was raining, but she didn't seem to have an umbrella.Although the distance

From a little distance, it can still be seen that the woman is wiping her hair and shoulders with a small handkerchief with a straight face.

When the red light came on, she kept staring at the sky bitterly, probably because she didn't expect it to rain.Sure enough, after the green light, she still stood there at a loss.

Hui obeyed the traffic rules, got out of the car and walked across the crosswalk.Just finished walking, the woman looked here as if noticing someone coming.

She gave a light attention salute, then walked to the restaurant roof and stood next to the woman.

"If you don't mind, use this."

Hui slowly put away the plastic umbrella and handed the umbrella handle to the woman.

"what?"

There was a hint of doubt in the woman's clear voice, and then she looked around for no reason.

"You don't seem to have an umbrella..."

When looking across the street, she clearly felt that the woman's appearance and behavior were very mature, but face to face, she looked a bit like a girl who was still in high school.She is wearing a floral short dress

Coupled with tight jeans, the slightly curly long hair looks even more glamorous after being wet, but it seems that she forgot to put a folding umbrella in the small bag on her shoulder.

The woman stared at Kei's face with wide eyes and some anxiety.

"But, but, is this okay? Because, if you lend me your umbrella..."

Of course, Kei didn't bring a spare umbrella, and even this umbrella was just bought temporarily at a convenience store near her door.

But to reassure her, Hui said with a calm smile.

"The place where I work part-time is right in front, and I will arrive soon, and there are spare umbrellas in the store."

After hearing what she said, the girl accepted the umbrella handed over with some embarrassment.

In order to avoid further disputes, Hui planned to turn around and leave.

"Well, thank you. Also, please let me return the gift."

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the woman's unexpectedly strong tone.

"No, it's just the cheapest umbrella in the convenience store."

"Then how..."

She was persistent and refused to give up, so Hui had no choice but to speak.

"That's good. I'm doing an internship at the nearby Erchitang Bookstore. If you can read the book some other day, that would be great."

"Nearby... oh, the one in front of Makuhari Station."

While thinking about what Kei said, the woman nodded in understanding.

"Understood, I will definitely go. That..."

The woman corrected her posture and looked straight into Kei's eyes.

"Thank you for your umbrella."

Then, in a solemn tone, he bowed to himself.

"Small things, it doesn't matter."

Speaking in a non-existent tone, Hui lightly raised her hand and trotted into the drizzle.

The woman stood motionless at the intersection where the traffic lights turned red again until her back was out of sight.

.................................................. .........

"call...."

With a slightly panting voice, Megumi entered the bookstore.

I looked at the clock hanging in the store, it was about 5 minutes ahead just now.

Although the distance is actually not too far away, the ends of the hair still look slightly wet.

She took out the handkerchief in her coat pocket and wiped it, and at this moment Miss Suzumori who appeared out of nowhere appeared in her sight.

Apparently Suzumori Yuko also noticed Kei here and walked over.

Seeing the transparent shoulders and the handkerchief Hehui was holding, she frowned slightly.

"Did you forget to bring your umbrella when you went out?"

However, she spoke again without waiting for Kei's answer.

"The clothes are a little wet too, if you're not careful, you'll catch a cold."

Kei, who was about to say 'please don't mind', was interrupted again before she could speak.

"There's a dryer over there in the duty room, I'll take you there now."
