When meeting the girl for the first time, Tachibana Chizuru thought she was just a girl who likes to lie.But when he was lying on the balcony to enjoy the cool one evening, Tachibana Qianhe discovered that the girl from the neighbor's house who always had a cold face was just putting a mask on his face.

I don't know if it's because of the bad weather, so many people called the store today to order takeaway.After riding a bicycle to deliver to the last takeaway on the order, Tachibana Qianhe opened the curtain and walked into the store to shake the rain from her hair.

"Uncle Fujiwara, do you have any takeaway?"

The middle-aged man who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen came out when he heard Tachibana Chizuru's voice.

"Ah~~~ It's Chizuru, so what, it seems that an acquaintance of Fujiwara-kun came to the store, so from now on we won't be taking out food."

"Ah~~~ Is that so?" Taking off the towel from one hanger, Tachibana Chizuru wiped her hair and walked towards the shop.

four years ago……

Tachibana Chizuru, who returned to Japan before high school, was urged by his mother to put on his shoes and walk towards the nearby supermarket. He was lingering in front of the shelves with a look of bitterness and hatred towards the dazzling array of condiment bottles in front of him.

Speaking of which... before going out, his mother didn't tell him what kind of soy sauce to buy.

After hesitating for a long time, he didn't know what brand of good orange to buy. When scratching his head, he suddenly saw a girl next to him holding a shopping list and carefully choosing the shelf. After thinking about it, he thought that the girl might know. What kind of soy sauce should I buy now.

"Arnold~~~ Can I trouble you to pick out the "vinegar" for me? Although it's rude, I'm not very good at this."

Hyacinth, who was picking out kitchen seasonings, stopped her hands and looked suspiciously at the blond boy behind him who was obviously not a local.

"vinegar?"

"Yes, my Kassan didn't tell me which one to buy before going out... so I feel a little at a loss now haha."

Silently looking at the label with "Soy Sauce Zone" behind him, Hyacinth, who is also a foreign friend, understood a little bit why the boy pointed at soy sauce and yelled vinegar.

"Well, can I ask what your family is going to have for dinner tonight?"

"Huh?!" Tachibana Chizuru who was asked touched his head. "Kassan said that dinner seems to be beef sauce. Does this have anything to do with buying "vinegar"?"

Clearly reaching out to take down the bottle of dark soy sauce in front of him, Hyacinth reached out and handed the thing to the boy in front of him.

"This word..." Pointing to the printed paper on the bottle, Hyacinth explained to the young man: "This word is not pronounced as "vinegar", but its correct pronunciation is "soy sauce". Although it is written in a recognizable way, but Your pronunciation is completely wrong."

"Ah!!! Is that so!!!" Tachibana Qianhe, who was accused, stared at the bottle in his hand for a while.

"How can it be repaired!!! There is such a big ugliness."

Hyacinth waved her hand to signal that nothing was wrong, picked up the shopping basket at her feet and continued to walk between the shelves. After buying the Tachibana Chizuru she needed, she thanked the other party and walked towards the cashier.only……

Tachibana Chizuru, who was standing at the back of the line, saw the girl with red long hair standing up high again while waiting for the checkout.

The line at the cashier next door seemed to be longer than the one I was in, and the shopping basket in the girl's hand looked full and heavy. After thinking about it, Tachibana Chizuru turned around and walked over under the gaze of the old man behind him. The team the girl is in.

"Yo, we meet again."

The girl looked up at him silently. "kindness."

The originally normal scene changed drastically after a few minutes, and Tachibana Chizuru, who had just met Hyacinth, also left the impression of "lying" towards Hyacinth.

When queuing up to check out, Hyacinth's cell phone rang, and under the watchful eyes of the young man behind her, she picked up the call without looking at the caller ID. Perhaps because of the relatively close distance, Tachibana Chizuru heard a shallow voice on the other end of the phone .

"Sister? Where are you? Why don't you go home now?"

"Hmm...is there anything?"

"Huh? What are you talking about sister, today is your birthday and everyone is waiting for you at your house."

"Oh~~~~ I forgot, who else is there besides you?"

"Everyone is here. My brother, my aunt, my grandparents are all here. I heard that sister, you are going to work next month. Everyone is here to see you."

"Tsk—it's really troublesome to have so many people here~~~ Hey Jin, give my mother the phone."

"Ok."

……

"Hey Kassan, didn't I tell you that I will celebrate my birthday with my classmates tonight."

"How could it be possible to push it away? Everyone has come all the way to Kumamoto."

"That's why I can't go back in Kumamoto now. Besides, Haru-chan and the others are also here. It's not good to just leave like this after I promised them."

"It's useless for you to get angry with me. I said I had arrangements today and you still called so many people. It's because you didn't listen to me well."

"Well~~~ I don't care, anyway, I won't be going home today, goodbye."

The girl's tone had a willful and cuteness unique to her age. If she hadn't stood behind the other party, Tachibana Chizuru would never have believed that such coquettish words were uttered by the depressed girl in front of her.

Speaking of Kumamoto... Tachibana Chizuru looked at the dark woolen coat and the huge coffee-colored backpack on the girl's body.

No matter how you look at it, this child looks like he just came back from another place.

The people at the front of the line finished paying and left the supermarket with their bags in their hands. After the clerk said goodbye, Hyacinth turned and left the cashier with a shopping basket.

"Ah? Don't you pay the bill?" Tachibana Chizuru looked at the girl who turned and left strangely.

"What are the people who get carried away with their classmates in Kumamoto buying so many things?" Hyacinth looked up at the roof of the supermarket and blinked. "It's no longer necessary, these things."

"Huh? But it's not because you lied to your family..." Tachibana Chizuru suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.

"What?" Turning his head silently, Tachibana Qianhe was not there to look at the girl behind him whose shoulders were shaking violently.

She must have been the one who lied to her family, but what is going on with the sad face that is crying now, this guy.

When he returned home with his things, Tachibana Qianhe stared at the lights in the neighbor's house for a moment in a daze.

How should I put it, those flower pots placed at the door of the neighbor's house... it feels like they shouldn't be that bare.

After seeing those "Fujiwara-kun's regular customers" in the mouth of the ramen master, Tachibana Chizuru suddenly understood why the takeaway job was canceled today. It should be because of those people sitting in the shop that the ramen shop put up a temporary closed sign today It is also excusable.

"Aunt Feng, why are you here?" Across the various shopping bags on the table, Tachibana Chizuru cried out in surprise when she saw the middle-aged woman sitting at the far end of the table.

"Ah, we're here to look for Nobuko, and we haven't come home or called for more than a year... After all, it's very worrying."

"That's right, no matter what, you can't abandon your mother at home alone and go out to eat, drink and have fun. If you want me to say that Xinzi is spoiled by you."

In the small ramen shop, the young woman next to the middle-aged woman suddenly fell into silence after speaking.

Under Fujiwara Shunosuke's surprised gaze, Tachibana Chizuru withdrew her hand holding the water glass.

"Before you say such things, let me calculate with you the account of your illegal intrusion into my sister's house, this one who is dressed like a brown bear... Auntie."

The author has something to say: Huh——I feel that this article is about to end. Speaking of which, this is my first novel without any descriptions including kisses. I feel that my integrity has returned haha.

Just like the title of this volume, I would like to thank girls such as Jiahuamei Coconut and Jiahuamei Coconut for their unwavering support. In the face of this great touch, I can only lie flat and offer my chest to express my love Inexplicable (...) mood at the moment.
